As a society, we face urgent challenges from the impact of climate emergencies, environmental damage and social inequality.
Businesses sit at the nexus of many of these challenges as they must address the concerns of multiple stakeholders:
The challenge for businesses is to transform their cultures, processes and even business models for the better within the broader context of a global context to net zero carbon.
What role can business play in contributing to achieving net zero carbon while protecting and enhancing human rights – freedom from poverty, access to clean water, good health and a right to education – at a local and a global level? Business firms and organizations must upgrade their capabilities through individuals with a nuanced, critical and reflexive understanding of environmental sustainability and social inequality from a business perspective.
At Edinburgh, you will have the opportunity to learn about business and its impact upon environment and society from researchers who are international leaders in their field, and from leading research and industry engagement from the Business School’s Centre for Business Climate Change and Society (CBCCS).

You will learn in a diverse multi-cultural and multi-disciplinary environment through innovative teaching that combines and incorporates blended and experiential learning approaches.
