How are climate-related and environmental risks affecting - and going to affect - the world? And importantly, the world of business? This module will equip students to understand and critically engage with anthropogenic climate change as an issue that presents new and compounding risks and challenges to businesses, workers, and society at large. The course will cover climate change and its entangled relationship between natural resources, biodiversity, and processes of commodification, and in the context of how firms and the wider communities adapt and mitigate these risks.
