Online Learning Opportunities
Our community is connected by the shared belief that a just and thriving world is possible. We take pride in curating the authentic and meaningful connections that help us reach that mission.
In 2019, The Yale Center for Business and the Environment embarked on a pioneering venture, launching one of Yale University's first online certificate programs. It was a pilot, an experiment to understand what virtual non-degree bearing programs could become, and to showcase the transformative impact of online learning at Yale. Since then, we have launched a Coursera course in Connected Leadership with over 35,000 learners enrolled in its first six months. And, in January 2024 we will launch the Clean Equitable Energy Development online program in partnership with the Yale Center for Environmental Justice.
Our mission is clear - to inspire, support, and accelerate the transition to a just and thriving world. At CBEY, we believe in the power of connection, the synergy of ideas, and the mobilization of resources to foster innovative business and cross-sector solutions to the most pressing global challenges of our time. Our commitment to online education has made critical knowledge accessible to thousands and has helped build powerful networks of learners and leaders worldwide.
