Foundations of International Business & Sustainability

This programme is designed for students around the world with a focus on international business and sustainability.

Programme Overview

The world is changing. Science has shown that the impact of climate change is happening now, hitting populations worldwide. Global temperatures are rising because of carbon emissions, largely caused by human activity. International reports indicate that we must limit global warming to 1.5° C by the end of this century to avoid an irreversible catastrophe. For this to occur, carbon dioxide emissions need to decline by about 45% by 2030 and reach net zero in 2050. 

While the goal is within reach, it requires urgent and unprecedented social and economic transformation, which will lead to a radical redesign in the way we live, travel, and do business. This programme is designed for students around the world with a focus on international business and sustainability.
