We have a relatively new, extremely serious threat to sustainability at both the corporate level and the personal level. It’s from a source that you may not immediately consider: artificial intelligence.
In recognition of World Environment Day, we’ve curated a collection of articles and webinars that highlight how project professionals, industries and PMOs are integrating sustainability into their work. These resources showcase practical approaches, emerging trends, and real-world perspectives.

PMI interviewed executives across industries about the people-related factors that enable—or hinder—enterprise agility. The quotes that follow offer a candid view of the leadership behaviors, mindsets, and organizational conditions that help people thrive in a complex, fast-changing world.
85% of sustainability executives are confident their organization can deliver on its sustainability goals. Only 43% of PMO leaders agree. PMI research surfaces the friction points where sustainability strategy weakens between commitment and execution.
Resilience appears in annual reports, board presentations, and CEO commitments. Delivering it requires something more specific: organizations built to execute their sustainability goals when cost pressure hits, timelines tighten, and trade-offs have to be made under real conditions. New PMI research—Executing Sustainability Strategy: When Ambition Meets Reality—documents the gap
Members of the PMI Thought Leadership Advisory Council share how they've put M.O.R.E. into practice—not in theory, but in the specific, sometimes messy reality of their work. The responses reflected the depth and range of experience the council represents.
As part of the development of the Manifesto for Enterprise Agility, PMI spoke with a range of executive leaders to gather insights on what enterprise agility looks like in practice. Here, Terence Mauri shares how to rethink operating models.

The session also examines why sustainable project leadership is becoming increasingly critical for long-term career growth and organizational impact.
