Thematic Focus
In a worldwide survey, Cultural Vistas solicited feedback from our extensive alumni network regarding the global challenges that most impact their communities and lives. Our alumni urged us to focus on four key areas in our work, around which we center our program activities:
- Prospering Democratic Societies & Institutions
- Intercultural Competency, Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (ICDEI)
- Health & Safety
- Climate Action
Climate Action encompasses the belief that it is our responsibility as an organization that promotes the global mobility of individuals to address the existential threats posed by climate change directly. We do this both by motivating individuals to climate action in our programs and by implementing increasingly more environmentally sustainable business practices. Cultural Vistas has pledged to reduce or offset our operational greenhouse gas emissions by at least 45% by 2030. This is loosely oriented on United Nations SDG #13, “Climate Action”.
