Module Learning Objectives and Skill Acquisition
This module introduces the main issues in corporate approaches to climate change. How can companies address global warming, both in terms of mitigating climate change damages and adapting to them strategically? The first half of the module explores the relationship between climate change and the private sector. The lectures will focus on the themes of sustainability, green management, and climate risks. The second half of the module applies these concepts to several case studies. The main learning objectives are to understand the most relevant ways for companies to become more sustainable and the main obstacles to the process. By the end of the module students should be able to apply these concepts to actual companies in different sectors of the economy.
