Devastating bushfires, a global pandemic and once-in-a-century floods. In less than three years, Australians have witnessed a host of events directly linked to a worsening climate crisis.
At the same time, the business world is moving beyond standard sustainability practices and is looking to balance profits with their overall environmental and societal impact.
In the context of these developments, it’s no surprise that demand for Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) professionals is at an all-time high, with organisations struggling to fill critical positions.
In response to this demand, Victoria University (VU) developed the Graduate Certificate in Planetary Health, a transdisciplinary approach that addresses the health of people, place and planet. The course shows how each profoundly impacts the other and provides everyday managers with an all-encompassing way to think about sustainability in the business environment.
