This course explores sustainability from the perspective of grand challenges. By examining in- depth the issue of plastic pollution, one of the most recent and complex sustainability issues facing businesses, students have the opportunity to experience the challenges and opportunities that such an issue can present.
Beginning by situating plastic pollution within the SDG framework and then unpacking the challenge itself, its many stakeholders, the evolving regulatory context and its systemic nature, the first sessions offer insights into mapping the materiality of an issue within a particular business.
Participants will identify solutions and opportunities through a variety of cases. Throughout the learning journey, opportunities for personal and professional reflection on grand challenges will be included.
Pre-requisites: An interest in learning about the impacts of grand challenges on businesses and vice versa. No prior expertise on the topic is necessary.
