Issue 10 of the Business School's award-winning magazine, IMPACT, is out now. Themed around ‘sustainability and society’, the issue looks at our research on sustainability and addresses what this means for business in the widest sense – not just climate change – but our global responsibility to manage the planet’s resources.
The magazine also looks at other issues facing society and ways we, as individuals as well as organisations, can make an impact on the world we share.
Features include:
How do you begin to design an ‘intelligent’ city fit for the future? Professor Kiran Fernandes explains how his work with the ‘indexDNA’ framework is shaping urban development.
Social media is a powerful tool for inciting positive change – but it can also lead to disingenuous or even harmful outcomes. Dr Mariann Hardey reflects on its role in social activism.
The funding needed to achieve the ambitious UN Sustainable Development Goals is huge and Professor Habib Ahmed investigates how Islamic finance can contribute.
For those living in social housing the extreme stigmatisation of estates has an impact on everything from employment to healthcare as Dr Mercy Denedo’s joint research project discovers.
Current Durham DBA candidate, Asrif Yussof shares his story of beginning his DBA amid a pandemic and locked-down in Kuala Lumpa.
...and many more.
