What are some of the emerging trends and issues in environmental education and service learning?
Sustainability has other facets that became more noticeable during the pandemic when supply chains were not working, and organizations had to rapidly transform to adapt. Climate and environment are just a part of sustainability. Today, we are very dependent on organizations which are all connected digitally, and this interconnection also creates vulnerabilities. Specifically, cybersecurity is the most immediate financially material risk that organizations face today. When organizations are hacked, the impact is immediate and 60% of SMBs fail after an attack. Cybersecurity represents the most important component of sustainability because it is the most immediate and devastating systemic risk, which some nation states now weaponize.
