Dr Greg Borne

Course Leader, International Business Management MSc

I have over 20 years experience in researching, teaching and implementing multiple dimensions of sustainable development.  I have worked with international organisations such as United Nations as well as organisations in business, government, education and the  third sector. I am the  author of numerous journal articles and four books on different components of sustainability. I am currently working on my fifth book exploring the opportunities and barriers for the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals within local communities.

As  a member of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors I write for the RICS knowledge platform ISURV on areas relating to sustainability. I am also a member of the Institution of Environmental Sciences and am a chartered  environmentalist 

I joined Falmouth University in 2023 as the course leader for the MSc International Business Management.
