Why is Sustainability so important for industries and the world at large? 

Realizing our current state of sustainability is essential. From here we must highlight how to evolve, enhance, and implement our systems for the future. Today, more than ever, we rely on leaders who are experts in the subjects of sustainability, and who can execute sustainable change from the ground up. MIT Professional Education’s Professional Certificate in Sustainability is aimed at professionals who want to better execute sustainable practices in their chosen sectors or areas of influence. The full scope of ‘Sustainability’ covers a range of topics from our global environment to industries and infrastructure, to complex geopolitical dynamics. All are inextricably interconnected. Understanding the limitations of our outdated systems at every level, in every field, is a critical first step in understanding how we can begin to envision and therefore enact a better way forward. 

The programs in this Professional Certificate have been carefully selected by experts in the field of sustainability to emphasize the family of knowledge and related practices most conducive to producing comprehensive sustainable change.
