Solving many if not most sustainability challenges requires coordination and cooperation amongst a wide variety of actors with diverse interests, resources, and abilities. Governance for sustainability therefore requires improving our capacity to work together between many different types of actors and across different scales of governance. This seminar will explore the experience of leaders who have strategic insights into what it takes to build and maintain a capacity to work together to advance sustainability goals. This seminar is the sixth in a virtual bi-weekly series on Building Capacity for Sustainable Development. The series seeks to integrate insights from scholars and practitioners on how to get things done in tackling the multiple intertwined crises of the Anthropocene: climate change, extinction, war, inequality, and rising authoritarianism.

The series is organized by M-RCBG, Sustainability Science Program, Salata Institute for Climate and Sustainability, Center for International Development, and the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs.
