START WITH WHY
Need for Change
Do you feel like your university is preparing you for a world that will be overwhelmingly shaped by issues of sustainability?
There is a disconnection between the needs of the future and the education of today. This is most visible in the disciplines of economics and management, where many of the core principles presented to students are strikingly out of touch with the basic concepts of sustainability taught in the hard sciences.
This disconnect has led to an outburst of activity!
Students in economics departments and business schools around the world have recognized the problem and organized themselves to question what they are being taught and search for ideas that are more applicable to the real-world issues facing our generation.
