The SDG Academy in collaboration with Club de Madrid , has come together to offer a unique course on Global Leadership for the SDGs. Through a series of live sessions across 6 weeks, the course will focus on how change happens and is sustained at the highest level within governments and organizations. The course will be led by former heads of state and global leaders in business and civil society. These individuals bring diverse perspectives on the leadership necessary to create national and global movements towards sustainable development, including combating climate change, promoting and preserving human rights, and ensuring prosperity for all.
