Building a Sustainable Future in Porto

Porto isn’t just a city you visit, it’s a place you feel. Set along the banks of the Douro River, this northern Portuguese gem is full of character, charm, and quiet energy, making it the perfect backdrop for your learning journey.

Here, past and present live side by side. You’ll study in a city where baroque churches meet bold street art, and traditional riverside taverns sit steps away from trendy design cafés. Whether you’re exploring the narrow alleyways of the historic Ribeira district or taking in the views from Dom Luís I Bridge, Porto surrounds you with inspiration at every turn.

This course takes place right in the heart of it all, in a setting that encourages both academic focus and personal discovery. After class, enjoy a glass of world-famous Port wine, stroll along the Atlantic coast, or soak in the warmth of a city that welcomes you like a local.

Portugal’s maritime legacy may have shaped its history, but Porto’s spirit is what will shape your experience: grounded, generous, and quietly unforgettable.

If you’re looking for a destination that nurtures both your professional and personal growth, Porto is calling.

This course is designed to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of sustainability and equip them with the knowledge and skills to promote sustainable practices in their personal lives, workplaces, and communities. In today’s world, sustainability has emerged as a critical global concern, requiring individuals and organisations to take proactive steps towards a more sustainable and resilient future. Increasing population, global warming and the current global health crisis are catalytic factors causing collateral damage to our environment and accelerating the negative effects of climate change. Research shows that the world needs to cut its emissions at least by half by 2030 and reach net zero by mid–century to prevent the worst effects of climate change. Forging a sustainable future demands an appreciation of what’s at stake and how to protect it.
