strengths of business education with sustainability and climate change challenges.”
DID YOU
KNOW? A widely accepted formal definition of sustainable development was coined in the 1987 Brundtland Report: “Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs”.
If people in the rest of the world lived European lifestyles it would take the resources of two and a half planets to support them.
If carbon emissions grow at present rates, CO2 concentration in the atmosphere is likely to reach twice pre-industrial levels by around 2050.
Another example is the MBA in Strategic Carbon Management at Norwich Business School, University of East Anglia (UEA) in the UK. “Te idea was to provide a business education for people who recognised the need to move towards a local carbon economy and wanted to be more effective within their organisations,” says Terry Kendrick, MBA programme director at Norwich Business School.
Te programme, full-time or part-time, is delivered in collaboration with the University’s School of Environmental Sciences. Alongside more generic business modules, students cover specialist topics such as ‘the economics of the low carbon environment’; ‘corporate climate change management’; and ‘accounting and carbon finance’.
At Nottingham University Business School (NUBS), recognised for its strong corporate social responsibility teaching and research, the study of sustainability-related issues is integrated into the school’s MBA in
