BUDL3902: Disruption for Sustainable Futures
2024 unit information
A key consideration in crafting solutions to problems is sustainability. Sustainability-driven innovations improve the efficiency, effectiveness, and wellbeing of organisations, societies, and the world in the long run. This can be achieved by integrating social, economic and environmental dimensions into the solution. Sustainable innovations meet current needs without disrupting or compromising future welfare. We explore global grand challenges that require novel and cutting-edge solutions. In examining the various forces driving major trends and movements in the global landscape, we gain key insights into how and why the world is changing. Highlighting the role of responsible organisations and institutions in fostering sustainable development, we investigate how current and future innovations across industries can be harnessed to take on our world’s grand challenges. In pushing the boundaries of innovation, we contribute new perspectives on how we can pave multiple pathways towards our collective sustainable future.
