BHAAA2501U Business Responses to Climate Change
The course offers an introduction to the complexity of climate change and business. Combining lectures and interactive exercises the students learn about the science behind climate change (greenhouse gases, their relationship to weather and climate), how climate change provides risks and opportunties for business, and which actions can be taken. The students take theoretical lenses to analyze climate change and business (e.g., stakeholder theory). The students will in groups analyze a self-chosen company to identify climate change related risks and opportunities as well as provide recommendations for the future.
