Sustainability and climate change has to take its place at the forefront of business education strategy in order to address an issue shared by all of us. In this session, a panel of CSR and sustainability experts from across the AMBA & BGA networks will outline responses to the climate gauntlet and discuss how, as a global community of business educators, we need to act collectively, and quickly.
