It’s no longer sufficient for businesses to address the effects of climate change; they now need to play a critical role in confronting (and mitigating) the causes.

The Oxford Climate Emergency Programme will empower you to take the required action. Over six weeks, you’ll discover how to navigate risks and capture opportunities through catalyzing change and reconceptualizing the way you do business. Saïd Business School and the Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment — two leading institutions at the University of Oxford — have gathered extensive research and critical insights to create this six-week course in which you’ll explore the climate emergency from a systemic, organizational, and individual perspective.

As you explore the need for radical transformation, you’ll engage with economic system change, business model innovation, future-focused policymaking, and more. You’ll be encouraged to reflect on opportunities for collaboration and the importance of prioritizing personal resilience and leadership when facing the climate emergency. This practical course uses interactive peer engagements, case studies, and accessible tools. It also includes a 100-day plan for driving urgent and meaningful change, helping you build a sustainable future that’s also key to business growth.

This course is designed for senior managers, leaders, and consultants who want to understand the impact of climate change on business — and vice versa. They’ll gain the tools and frameworks to innovate the way they do business while still balancing environmental sustainability with profitability. Those within the sustainability, social, and environmental sectors will be able to improve how they collaborate and create action in addressing the climate emergency. Public sector professionals, policymakers, and regulators will discover what it takes to build a circular and regenerative economy. Additionally, they’ll gain a new systemic perspective to combat the crisis.
