Business and Climate Change in Asia Pacific

Climate change is one of the most defining global challenges of our time. Shifting political sentiments and rising geopolitical tensions have driven corporate action on climate change and sustainability to move beyond high-profile public commitments toward tangible, results-driven strategies. Today, the focus lies on delivering measurable outcomes, embedding sustainability into core business strategies, and leveraging it as a key driver of economic opportunity and client value.
As future leaders in business and society, students face a pivotal choice: to be part of the problem or the solution. This course provides a critical starting point for those committed to driving change.
Through interactive lectures, case studies, and industry insights, students will explore the practical and strategic aspects of corporate sustainability action. The course is structured around three core elements:
• Strategic Foundations: Understanding the global sustainability and climate landscape, regulatory drivers, and the business case for climate action.
• Practical Applications: Examining real-world corporate case studies and best practices to uncover how sustainability can be integrated into operations, supply chains, and innovation strategies.
• Leadership in Action: Getting insights into actionable strategies of organizations which move with confidence on their sustainable transformation journey.

The course is enriched by thematic sessions and contributions from real-life projects, offering students firsthand perspectives on current challenges and opportunities.
