About this
2-Day Executive Education Course
Climate change is a market shift
that every organization must address. Within a year, it is
likely that there will be a policy setting a price for
carbon at the federal level. This eventuality, combined with
recent shifts in state and international policy and
investor, consumer and employee market factors, makes it
imperative that companies address climate change issues and
opportunities now. This course is being developed by faculty
from the University of Michigan’s nationally recognized
Erb
Institute for Global Sustainable Enterprise in conjunction
with the Association of Climate Change Officers. The course
will draw upon a rich pool of talent expertise that resides
in both institutions.
Designed for:
- Executives and senior
managers responsible for organizational strategy
relative to environment and climate change in industry
and at universities
- Industries that have
large carbon footprints that face strong global
competition, such as automotive, steel, chemicals, pulp
and paper, oil and gas
- Organizations charged
with delivering new solutions and substitutes for
carbon-intensive products, such as online services,
electronics, and renewable energy
Takeaways:
Participants will walk away
with a greater understanding of the real issues that span
the science, policy and strategy of dealing with climate
