Three business school educators share their interactive approaches for teaching students to measure and manage carbon footprints.
In the first session of the monthly NBS Series on Teaching Climate in Business Schools, participants explored innovative methods to teach carbon measurement and management, at an individual and corporate level. The session included three presentations along with rich discussion via Q&A and breakout rooms. Below, you’ll find recordings and extra materials from each presentation, followed by some additional related resources from NBS.
