World Environment Day – A Free Learning Event in Partnership with mdsustain
On Monday 5th June, we heard from Stephanie Schlipper at mdsustain, Meshark Sikuku at Ripple Effect, Carla Denyer from the Green Party of England and Wales and Affan Cheema from Islamic Relief Worldwide about how organisations can start their journey towards environmental sustainability.
We were delighted to host such an inspiring and thought-provoking session that covered a wide range of ideas and strategies to promote sustainability in international development workspaces. For those who missed it or those who would like to re-watch the discussion, you can do so here:
