Resilience Requires Informed & Insightful Guidance.

Picture
The St Croix Institute™ is committed to providing our clients with the best available science in understanding the magnitude of the challenges, and thus the opportunities they represent, through integration of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s).  The SDG’s are the best roadmap available for truly ‘thinking globally - acting locally’ regardless of the size or location of your company, community, campus, or organization. The megatrends below are a gross abbreviation of the challenges we face, but a critical foundation to benchmark and gauge the effectiveness and efficiency of all our efforts. In our humble opinion, this is a good place to start,  https://sloanreview.mit.edu/article/seven-sustainability-trends-to-watch-in-2024/
Seven Megatrends Likely to Alter the Course of Sustainable Development:
1. Climate change will get worse 
​2. Elections will dramatically influence the future of sustainability and climate action
3. Sustainability reporting will garner more attention and investment within companies
4. Clean tech will continue to expand
5. Distractions and strawman arguments will proliferate
6. Partnerships to tackle sustainability issues at scale will grow 
7
. The threat of the anti-ESG movement will wane
