About the webinar
Climate commitments are set at the strategy level — but they're won or lost at the level of project delivery. This session explores the missing link between ambition and execution: the GPM P5 Standard (People, Planet, Prosperity, Product, Process), a framework that turns sustainability commitments into governance-grade, measurable outcomes that hold up under scrutiny. Joel Carboni, founder and president of GPM and architect of the P5 Standard and Sustainable Project Management®, joins this conversation to unpack what it actually takes for climate goals to survive the realities of how projects get built. Facilitated by Vugar Rustamli, the session is aimed at PMs, PMO leads, and sustainability/ESG professionals who want tools they can apply immediately, not just theory.
This event is part of Climate Week Prague 2026, the region's first international climate week, bringing together business, policy, and civil society to accelerate climate action across the Czech Republic and Central Europe.
Meet Your Host and Speaker
Sustainability impacts are created through projects, not reports. And the way most organizations govern those projects is the single biggest credibility risk in their reporting.
