Attention MBA, MMgt and BBA students, are you looking to: 

  • Add some experiential learning to your degree? 
  • Gain knowledge about Climate Innovations and working with unique start-ups? 
  • Complete an elective towards the MBA Sustainability or BBA Responsible Business Specializations or MBA Graduate Diploma in Business and the Environment? 

Then this course may be for you! 

SUST 6152 explores how new technologies and practices intended to tackle climate change can be adapted and scaled. This is primarily a project based-course focused on learning how to map out existing socio-technical systems and landscapes for a given technological niche (e.g., key players, processes, practices), identify multi-level barriers to the adoption of niche climate innovations, and formulate a strategy for overcoming such barriers (grounded within primary data collection within Canada, but also incorporating best practices and case studies globally). 

 Furthermore, it is an experiential education opportunity in partnership with Foresight Canada https://foresightcac.com/ in which students will work with startups and other stakeholders throughout the semester depending on their individual research. As a result, admission into the course will occur through a competitive application process. 

Please register to attend an information session on Monday September 23 at 12:30 PM to learn more.  The application process will be launched at the meeting and open until October 19th.  Decisions will be made by November 15th and successful applicants will be able to enrol in the course at that time.
