The colour of the unclouded sky at noon  \nImpact Report  \nSky Blue is an online leadership programme for people working on our environmental challenges.  \nSky Blue is inspired by the belief that, in order to tackle the world’s environmental challenges, we need to re-imagine and transform the systems that support our way of life. Many of the issues involved are extremely complex and cannot be solved by one individual, organization or sector acting alone.  \nTherefore, we need leaders who can cross the boundaries of sector, generation, professional discipline and belief-and build collaborations that deliver results.  \nThe story so far  \nThe Sky Blue pilot launched in 2020, and two further programmes followed in 2021 and 2022.  \nThe aim was to:  \n• bring together a dynamic, inter-generational group of leaders from many different fields who have one thing in common-they are working on an environmental project, idea or issue that requires them to collaborate across sectors or disciplines  \n• give them the cross-boundary leadership skills, broader networks and peer support that will help them to produce the quality of collaboration needed to deliver sustainable, and socially just, solutions for both people and nature.  \nThe ambition  \nThe first three Sky Blue programmes have been a great success-we have proof of concept.  \nThe broader aim is to convene a community of leaders around the world who are committed to our environment and who are working collaboratively, across sectors and divides, to create a sustainable future.  \nThe ambition is to develop cross-boundary, collaborative leadership abilities amongst a critical mass of leaders working at the heart of these environmental challenges.  \nP 2  \n97%  \nFeel better prepared to work collaboratively  \n“Sky Blue helped me to understand that we can solve the climate and biodiversity challenges on our planet if we all start with local solutions. If we collaborate and understand ourselves as a global movement, we will be able to contribute to fundamental change.”  \n-Gabriel Schwaderer, Executive Director, EuroNatur Foundation  \nSky Blue at a glance  \n\n| 246 | 60 | 59% |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| alumni | countries | women |\n| The programme | Leading Beyond Authority | Cultural Intelligence (CQ) |\n| The Sky Blue curriculum is | (LBA) | The ability to cross divides |\n| underpinned by the | The ability to produce | and thrive in multiple |\n| Common Purpose thought | change beyond your direct | cultures.

It has proved to be a very successful and fruitful partnership. It is hugely important that leaders working in conservation, and the wider environmental movement, are able to work collaboratively with leaders from other fields.”  \n-Lynda Mansson, Director General, MAVA Foundation  \nP 5  \nP 6  \nWhat the participants say  \nAt the end of each Sky Blue programme we asked the participants about their experience, what they had learned, and the value of the Sky Blue community.
