Change Your Thinking: Create the World You Want
Episode #1

The biggest challenge to better sustainability lies within us. If we want to build a better future, we must start by shifting the way we think. This episode will explore how neuroscience could hold the key to changing the way we think. We’ll show how forging new paths within our brains is the most powerful — and often overlooked — leverage point for driving systemic change. We'll speak with Jaimie Cloud, President of Cloud Institute for Sustainability Education and lead author of the award-winning Oxford International Curriculum for Sustainability, who is helping reshape the mindset needed to transition to a sustainable economy. You will see how corporate boardrooms, workforce development programs, university classrooms, and frontline innovation teams all have critical roles to play in this transformation.
