The ‘Sustainable Futures’ series explores sustainable urban development and low-carbon initiatives from organizations around the world. This podcast series is specially designed by Earth5R for educational purposes, imparting new ideas and concepts to the community, especially to those who are passionate about building or redirecting their careers in sustainability.
Given the rapid changes in the sustainability space, many innovative ideas and practices from industry professionals often do not reach a wider audience. This creates a gap for new entrants, lengthening their learning curve and contributing to a talent and skill shortfall in the industry. Our goal is to bridge this gap, enhancing learning from industry professionals and providing invaluable insights and practical knowledge.
Join us to explore cutting-edge sustainability initiatives and innovations. Hear from academic leaders, corporate pioneers, and passionate students driving transformative environmental change.
