Businesses, governments and communities are taking on the practical challenges that come with creating a sustainable future. Innovation is a big part of overcoming these challenges thinking differently, and finding new ways to reconcile the needs of people and businesses with those of the planet.
Sustainable development is now a mainstream agenda, with implications for every area of society:
- Businesses and organizations ensuring sustainability informs every aspect of their operations, from the environmental and social impacts of product design, logistics, manufacturing and waste management, to communicating with shareholders, the workforce and consumers.
- Governments, policymakers and NGOs to create the frameworks of innovation that will ensure pro-sustainability changes.
- Individuals making better choices about things like food sourcing and waste, to energy use, transport and buying goods and services.
Students will get to work on live briefs and real world projects, and have invaluable access to the organisations and case studies UWE offer through UWE Bristol's research activities, and its thriving network of sustainability partners. They will learn to apply their skills and knowledge to enhance their employability. They'll also benefit from the expertise and experience of UWE's multi-disciplinary team brings from consultancy, policy and practice.
