This PRME Working Group was configured at the Global Forum 2015 in New York. The focus is on SDG 13 ’Climate Action’ but several other SDGs are also addressed, one example being SDG 6 ‘Clean Water and Sanitation’. The aim of this Working Group goes beyond that of assisting business schools, it also aims to act as a resource for all organizations who wish to embed climate change and environmental education into their teaching and training. The PRME Working Group on Climate Change and Environment has three main objectives:
Please go to our website https://www.unprmeclimate.org/ to find more information - for example about the Carbon Literacy Training we offer - and to sign up to our working group.
If you are interested in joining the working group, please complete this registration form.
In this section, a few templates on how climate change and other environmental issues can be addressed in relevant policies and strategies within the university are listed. There are quite a few resources that can be found across the internet; however this section provides an easy-to-access toolbox, which can be used by PRME members as they align not only with the PRME Principles, but the organizational practice in a business school. The resources are organized according to regions by providing, for example, templates from the EAUC in the UK. The Working Group encourages colleagues to send policy and strategy templates from their countries, to be shared on this website with other colleagues. As a starting point, please find templates for:
a) Carbon Policy for a business school/university
b) Environmental Policy for a business school/university
c) Environmental strategy for a business school/university
d) Learning and teaching strategy including climate change education and other SDGs
Please contact Dr Muhammad Mazhar, Sustainability Coordinator at Nottingham Business School/Nottingham Trent University, UK for information on how to specifically join this subgroup, and/or whether you would be interested in webinars or events that centre around a particular topic.
Form more information on Climate Change and Environment-related Policies from PRME Signatories, see here (updated November 2017)
The Working Group strives to provide examples of best practice, innovative teaching ideas and suitable projects etc. for integrating climate (change) and environment-focussed topics into management education. Please find relevant resources in the newly-created learning and teaching repository. You can browse the repository by subject/discipline area such as accounting, marketing etc. Additionally, you can find resources related to each of the relevant Sustainable Development Goals. The repository aims to provide a broad selection including academic articles, games and community projects that allow for integration into the curriculum. The first material has been put together by the Green Academy Team from the Nottingham Trent University in the UK; however contributions and additional material from people who work in the field are strongly encouraged. In the long term, the Working Group hopes that Academics will take ownership of one of the topics. (For example, an interested party could summarise different teaching material for accounting, and therefore become the Academic Coordinator for Accounting in the repository, with your name appearing as the contact person). For further information on becoming the Academic Coordinator for a particular discipline, please contact the Co-chairs for the Working Group (contact details can be found below).
Additionally, the group readily welcomes discipline-specific training material contributions from those with a corporate background. For more information on further engagement opportunities, and the opportunity to take a more active role in developing the content for a particular discipline, please contact the Co-chairs of the Working Group.
The group organises regular workshops and events across different countries. The next one will be during the Global Forum 2017 in New York. For this event, they openly invite participation in the competition, with more details on this, and the competition itself coming soon.
The Working Group aims to encourage partnerships between business schools/universities and the private or public sector. Some examples of engagement opportunities are listed below. Of course, there are mere suggestions, and partnerships of this nature can in fact take on many forms:
The aim of this project is to get academics, students and others Carbon Literate within a short time frame and to get as many people as possible actively involved in embedding climate solutions in their own life and work. In order to do so we have chosen a train-the-trainer approach, so we will offer regional events inviting all the universities and business schools in the vicinity to train academics and students there so that they can become trainers in their own institution and/or involved in training other in other regions of the world. We will also use conferences to train academics and others so that they can then become facilitators in their own home institution and also in their home country if they choose to do so.
The material for the training will be provided. Please contact Professor Petra Molthan-Hill petra.molthan-hill@ntu.ac.uk if you are interested in offering such training in your own institution.
This training was developed by Nottingham Business School (Nottingham Trent University) in collaboration with the PRME Champions, Oikos International, Manchester Metropolitan University and the Carbon Literacy Project.
By taking part in this training, you will gain an understanding of:
You will also receive a full certificate issued by The Carbon Literacy Trust in Manchester.
