Brochure  on leadership competencies for sustainability:

During the past few months the CLI has been working on a comprehensive brochure on leadership competencies for sustainability for the German Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU). The brochure is the result of a study on leadership competencies. We conducted semi-structured interviews with more than 30 differents counterparts from business - small and big - and institutions  of higher learning across Germany. 24 representatives participated in a workshop on dialog at the BMU. The publication presents examples of entrepreneurial practice how internal change initiatives can be activated and promoted.

This brochure is only available in german language.

The project has recently come under the patronage of the former General Secretary of UNEP, Dr. Klaus Töpfer, and receives increasing media attention. "Young Leaders For Sustainability" takes place in collaboration with the German ASA/InWent program and private sector companies.

Our first book on Leadership for Sustainability has been published:

"Mind and Heart - Mapping Your Personal Journey towards Leadership for Sustainability", by Petra Kuenkel is a book that takes your into the inner world of redefining your leadership contribution for a more sustainable world.

The CLI presented a case study of "The Common Code for the Coffee Community" at the symposium "Partnerships for Sustainability: Examining the Evidence" which took place on 18-19 June 2008 at The United States National Academy of Sciences in Washington, DC.
The U.S. National Academies contracted a number of case studies to examine success and failures in cross-sector partnership addressing issues of sustainability. The symposium was part of a larger Roundtable on Science and Technology for Sustainability.
