In our ever-accelerating world, passive observation of global challenges no longer suffices. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) require active engagement, and that's precisely the goal of the SDG Traineeship project, spearheaded by The 2B Collective. We sat down with Shanna de Lang, the overall project manager, to delve into the dynamic realm of sustainable development and gamified learning.
System change, with the overarching goal of sustainability, is a formidable challenge that requires a deep understanding of the existing systems in place. However, before explaining the complexities and aspects of system change it is important to understand what system change is and why it is seen by some as a necessity for tackling climate change. Although there is already an abundance of legislation that promotes CSR and works towards the SDGs, without tackling the fundamental flaws in the economic and political systems, climate change is difficult to tackle.
Last week Yvette Watson, one of the founders of The 2B Collective, was a guest at BNR. During her stay, she gave an insightful talk focusing on the importance of freedom in relation to sustainable development.
"Because at the 2B Collective we actually know that everyone is an expert in their own work and can contribute to sustainable development. Everyone can look for more sustainable alternatives, has smart ideas and can look for innovative cooperation. And we desperately need this collective engagement and brainpower."
But we are stuck in a fundamentally flawed mindset. In the climate debate, the word 'freedom' is the argument against change.
How do we change this rigid kind of freedom into the freedom we need in challenging and transitional times like these?
Empowering Sustainability Through Comprehensive Employee Training
In the modern world, sustainability has become very important for businesses worldwide. It's no longer just a concept; it's a fundamental aspect of corporate responsibility and long-term success. To truly embed sustainability into the policy of an organization, it's vital to train every employee, from the entry-level to the management. In this article, we'll explore why this comprehensive approach is essential by drawing connections between creating awareness, harnessing the power of the crowd, and reaching a social tipping point, all within the context of sustainability.
Today, the gamified learning platform The 2B Collective is proud to announce that they will partner with Whizzdom, an investment fund focused on startups and scale-ups operating in the combination of Technology, Media, Communications, and Sustainability. Through Whizzdom's investment, The 2B Collective expands and crosses borders.
