Full Course Title:
The Business of Building a Better World
Poverty, pollution, inequality, deforestation, global warming, hunger... The world as we know it is in trouble. Can business be part of the solution, instead of the problem? We believe it can! This course will introduce you to the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), adopted by all UN member states in 2015 to "end poverty, protect the planet and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity by 2030," and discuss the ways in which companies, corporations, visionary entrepreneurs, and, yes, even you, can contribute to meeting these goals.
