WHEN IT COMES TO CLIMATE, WE DON'T PLEDGE, WE PLAN.
Today’s leaders face an uncharted future. The Earth’s climate is rapidly transforming, and our economies are not yet prepared to withstand the impact.
But there are many things to be hopeful about. We know how to power our economies with clean energy, regenerate forests, farm sustainably, and build roads and cities that protect against heat and withstand floods and hurricanes.
The next step is leadership.
We cannot simply negotiate the future. We have to build it, and we need leaders who can facilitate communities and countries to find the solutions that work for each unique ecology, economy, and culture.
Fletcher faculty are at the forefront of this movement.
At Fletcher, we combine the latest in climate research and innovation with the powerful tools of strategic planning and social change.
our FLEXIBLE executive programs equip your leaders to create visible impact for you and for the planet.
The Fletcher School’s rich regional and country research make it strongly suited to addressing the diverse spectrum of needs faced by governments, multilateral institutions, and climate-conscious corporations.
We work extensively with the full spectrum of the socioeconomic system, from public agencies supporting resilience for the world's most vulnerable communities to multilateral organizations, to multinational bank leaders seeking to invest in change.
WE ACCOMPLISH THIS THROUGH A MULTI-pronged approach.
a foundation in current research

hands-on strategy workshops
All Fletcher Executive Training cohorts come together to examine cross-cutting challenges like energy transition, disaster resilience, environmental protection, and governance.
Hands-on workshops are built into the learning experience, fostering a test environment for participants to develop strategies and plans with peers, and apply knowledge to your context.
This six- to ten-hour team-based learning component can be tailored to the strategic goals of the training.
what does An immersive program look like?
We tailor programs to our partners' needs and deliver coursework designed to fit in-person, virtual, and hybrid schedules ranging from three days to four months in length.
Our most popular format is a five-day immersion, however we are also craft learning experiences to your preferred duration. All of our programs include hands-on training sessions, keynote lectures, site visits, and ample discussion time.
What participants have said:
It’s very important for senior executives to get outside of our work environment and come together to discuss something that’s common to everyone, which is the future of the next generation. The program was able to paint a realistic picture of what’s going on in the world. It gives us a sense of optimism because it’s not too late, and we can do something about climate change. With a multilateral development bank like [ours], working with academic institutions and think tanks, I think it’s crucial that we do this and continue to learn in the future.”
