 My name is Beth Knight. I'm a freelancer. I work for a company called Sustainable Leaders Ltd. I've been working with CISL since the very early days of its existence. I was a master's student originally and now I'm a tutor on some of the programmes. I'm an online head tutor on the Business Sustainability Management course and I also support with postgraduate programmes. I'm a senior associate at CISL and what that means is I've been involved in teaching and coaching different students through the various programmes and parts of the institute that work around sustainability. A constant thread in my interaction there has been more in the leadership space and education although I've also worked in supporting on pieces of thought leadership, reviewing and doing offline research for various directors. Within my work I work a lot with technology sector. I previously worked at Amazon where I headed up their community investment, some of their disaster relief and humanitarian aid programming and also I do a lot of work in sustainable finance and what that means around the mechanisms that we have within financial systems to support and enable people to live fulfilling and sustainable lives. One of the things that really concerns me at the moment is the increasing numbers of displaced people that we're seeing in the world through climate change but also through war and conflict and with the rising amounts of people who are displaced with that comes multiple sustainable livelihood challenges. Everything from sustainable livelihoods around finance and access to capital through to consumption patterns, how different businesses and industries are engaging with this shift that we're seeing in humanity and the human population. I think CISL have a really critical role to play, their ability to act as a convener around really critical topics that are perhaps cause based or needing to have real critical thinking, computational thinking and people within a position of influence in order to create really systemic change but in a way that is scalable with a sense of urgency and agency around it and also in a way that's inclusive in terms of bringing the right people and the right voices to the table perhaps not always just the incumbent players but those that all have a stake in whatever sustainability challenge it is around which CISL is mobilising and having a response on. Right now and I think increasingly we're seeing more and more systemic problems that are resulting in moments of crisis and what has been really encouraging me in the wake of things like the Ukraine war, the Turkey-Syria earthquake is how different actors and stakeholders are putting aside ego, vested agenda etc in the face of something which needs shared action, shared ownership around a common good where it is really clear and critical to act fast with a sense of agency in a way that creates meaningful and purposeful change in the face of those moments of crisis.
