Description

Since founding the University of Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership in 1988, Polly Courtice has guided thousands of business leaders to more sustainable business practices. While the Institute no longer has to convince corporate leaders of the importance of these issues, the biggest challenge the Institute faces today is how to scale up solutions quickly enough to address increasing environmental and climate threats.

Join Professor Buzz Thompson and Polly Courtice to hear more about the Institute’s projects with businesses, policymakers, and financial institutions to scale up and accelerate solutions for a sustainable economy. Dame Courtice also discusses how COVID-19 pandemic has laid bare the flaws in global supply chain assumptions while also providing the opportunity to think more deeply about the role the corporate sector can play in decarbonizing the global economy, protecting and restoring nature, and building more inclusive and resilient societies.

The Bright Idea is a Stanford Law School podcast that highlights some of the most promising and inspirational work around the world in sustainability and conservation. Professor Buzz Thompson begins this series by talking to some of the past winners of Stanford Law School's Bright Award. The Bright Award is an annual environmental award given to individuals who have dedicated their careers to improving sustainability and conservation. It is the only award like it in the world, and it is the highest environmental prize given by Stanford University. Stanford Law School Alumnus, Ray Bright, established the Bright Award with the goal of recognizing the winners' prior sustainability work and supporting and extending that work into the future.
