Overall objective

In today's world, the challenges of environmental sustainability and social development require integrated and innovative approaches to management. As businesses increasingly focus on their impact on the environment and society, the demand for professionals with knowledge of environmental, social and governance (ESG) principles continues to grow. However, in Central Asia, the integration of ESG into higher education and the labour market remains limited.

The ESGCA Erasmus project aims to modernise and enhance environmental education by developing and introducing a Master's programme in ESG as well as new micro-credit courses covering important topics such as climate change, nature conservation, sustainable development and natural resource management. This initiative, implemented in 10 universities in Central Asia, will train highly qualified specialists in the field of sustainable environmental and social management, equipping them with interdisciplinary knowledge and the necessary soft skills required in today's labour market.
