Building Effective Cross-Sector Collaboration: Public, Private, & Civil Society​

In this course, you will learn to identify the key stakeholder groups and their role in catalyzing the sustainable investing movement to achieve the SDGs.

  • Gain strategies for effectively building bridges between these groups to effect system-wide change
