Businesses will be challenged to provide services or products with less harmful influence on the climate; respond to a changing policy, regulatory, and market environment; and provide new services and products to help address the challenges of a changing climate. Many businesses are beginning to see climate change as another context within which they need to consider their core functions of strategy, finance, operations, marketing, and their regulatory environments, a context that poses both risks and opportunities. Climate Change Education: Preparing Current and Future Business Leaders is the summary of a workshop hosted by the National Research Council's Board on Science Education in March 2013 to explore issues associated with teaching climate change-related topics in business schools. The workshop focused on major gaps in understanding of climate and sustainability education in postsecondary professional schools of business. The workshop also connected the topic of climate education for current and future business leaders with a broader discussion on climate change education and how they influence and can benefit each other. This report discusses the role that business schools could play in preparing future corporate leaders for the challenges and opportunities that climate change poses."--Publisher's description.Climatic changesCongressesClimatic changesStudy and teachingUnited StatesCongressesClimatic changesClimatic changesStudy and teaching551.6Storksdieck MartinNational Research Council (U.S.).Division of Behavioral and Social Sciences and Education,National Research Council (U.S.).Board on Science Education,A Workshop on Climate Change Education for Future Business Leaders (Workshop)MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910786761803321Climate change education3742566UNINA
