Why NBS Developed this Teaching Series

Business schools and business faculty want to respond to the climate crisis. NBS wants to help them do so. These events on teaching climate are intended to address the needs of instructors while complementing existing efforts in this space.

These events bring together educators who have created and integrated effective approaches to teaching climate in business schools with educators at earlier stages. It enables sharing of  materials, guidance, and best practices that will advance climate teaching for all. 

How we developed the series: NBS staff consulted with experts in the climate teaching space on what framing and structure would be most useful. We issued an open call for submissions, shared widely. We developed the themed sessions based on our initial framing and presentations submitted.
