Event Description

You now have the opportunity to earn a certificate in Carbon Literacy.

More and more nations are declaring climate emergency. This will impact societies, economies and individuals. As a result, employers are increasingly realising the importance of hiring graduates with an understanding of environmental and social issues in order to cope with future challenges and impact decision making at business level.

By taking part in this workshop, you will gain an understanding of:

• The basic science behind climate change
• Social equity & climate change
• What you can do to act on climate change
• Strategies and skills for communicating action on climate change
• Accounting for and reporting on climate change

The purpose is to understand how you - as business school students and the leaders of the future - are addressing the issue of climate change, and discuss your understanding and expectations of the role of government and the private sector.

More information on this, a full programme and reading list will be provided as we get closer to the event. Refreshments and lunch will be provided during the event.

Please NOTE that this event is offered free of charge to CBS students, there will however be a fee of UK £10 for the actual certificate (please email li.edu@cbs.dk if you have any questions in regards to this).
