Stakeholder engagement
Together, we can work through anything
Engineered solutions alone cannot mitigate climate change. Identifying and engaging stakeholders—students, staff, faculty, leadership, members of the community—takes a toolbox of methods and expert facilitation skills to ensure diverse perspectives contribute to the solution.
Stakeholder engagement is a crucial component of working together to solve climate change. Open discussion encourages diverse perspectives, which lead to multi-way education and information sharing, effective decision making, trust, risk management, buy-in, and accountability.
Working from core values of respect, mutual understanding, shared responsibility for the outcomes, transparency, and assuming positive intent, GreenerU’s expert facilitation skills and stakeholder engagement techniques can ensure the best outcomes for any complex project.
