1.4 Sustainability as a performance target, the logic of inclusion
PRINCE2 • 2m 20s
Andy Murray, in his discussions regarding the PRINCE2 V7 project management guidance, addresses the crucial inclusion of sustainability as a core performance target. Given the pressing global concerns around the environment and climate change, he emphasizes the importance of embedding sustainability into project management methodologies.
He anticipates a deeper inquiry into what precisely is meant by "sustainability." While the immediate thought might veer towards carbon emissions, considering the worldwide emphasis on reaching net-zero emissions, sustainability encompasses more. Governments globally have committed to targets like the 2050 benchmark set during the Paris Agreement. However, some countries, such as the UK, are more ambitious with their goals, legislating a 2035 target instead.
Murray's perspective underlines the evolving nature of project management in line with global socio-political and environmental challenges, ensuring that projects not only achieve their direct objectives but also contribute to larger societal goals.
