Sustainable development and business
How can we meet the needs of the present without harming the future?
When making business or policy decisions it’s important to consider wider and future impacts. Focusing on just one need can have unintended consequences elsewhere and the longer we pursue unsustainable development the greater these impacts will be. To build a greener, healthier, fairer future we must find better ways of doing things, both within business and communities.
Our programmes allow you to study a variety of disciplines such as climate change, policy and governance, and environment and human health, taught by experts in the most pressing sustainability problems. You will focus on seeking solutions to these global challenges, understand the role of business in creating a sustainable future and critically evaluate policy solutions.
