Sustainability as Transformative Agent in Business and Public Policy

3 units

This course examines how sustainability drives and is driven by public policy and business. Participants will acquire skills and techniques to apply sustainability in the marketplace, concentrating on public and business organizations. We will explore how profit drives sustainability as a business practice and whether it assists or interferes with public policy objectives around environment, public health, jobs, social mobility, and economic development. As a culminating project, students will develop a sustainability proposal either for government or the private sector.
