Building Climate and Carbon Literacy into Business School Curricula: A Toolkit for Centres

Climate change is urgent and fast-moving, and individuals can have difficulty keeping up-to-date. One solution is a collective knowledge hub, to share and disseminate best practice.

In this SCC Workshop session, presenters Lynn Schenk (Harvard Business School) and Ian Thomson (Birmingham Business School) explored the potential for such a knowledge hub, focused on business school educators.

The session discussed different ways to build understanding of climate change risks and opportunities into educational programs in schools and institutions. Participants shared approaches including stand-alone courses on business and climate change; climate change cases that can be used to teach core concepts in marketing, strategy, innovation, or other disciplines; and simulations for use inside or outside the classroom. Participants were encouraged to develop a toolkit appropriate to their situation.
