Why sustainability is central to business education | Tiiram Sunderland | TEDxLondonBusinessSchool

Business schools train the future leaders of the world’s biggest and most innovative companies. But are they preparing students for the challenges and opportunities ahead? Former climate change policymaker and current student at London Business School, Tiiram Sunderland believes business schools are at risk of failing to equip their students for one of the world’s biggest challenges. Advocating that sustainability in business education is a win for all, Tiiram outlines what’s in it for students, for business schools, and for the planet.
Tiiram Sunderland is a current MBA student at London Business School. Prior to LBS, he completed MAs in Public Policy and International Politics and spent 5 years working for the Australian Government developing climate policy and programmes to improve economic and social outcomes for the poor in the Asia-Pacific. Tiiram is passionate about sustainability, education and inclusive development, and his career has taken him from the United Nations Environment Programme in New York, to the board of the youth education not-for-profit, CISV International.

This is an eye-opener! Gave me a whole new perspective. I'm currently pursuing my MBA and I'm so glad I have Ethics & Corporate Sustainability as a core subject in my course work.

Could someone please break down the numbers for reaching the carbon budget for the Paris agreement? Or give me a source regarding the 335 gigatons C02 that we have left if we want to reach our goals? Thanks!

Since China and India produce more Co2 than anyone else and are exempt from the Paris accords until 2030, and China is building over 300 new coal-fired power plants around the world (which will be operational for 40-60 years), how are they contributing to this 'equity'. Also, according to BBC, "China has been signaling that it may restrict the export of rare earth minerals to the United States as the trade conflict between the two countries escalates." Aside keeping current tariffs on China goods, what would they do if they really got mad?

India and China are fairly poor. We need industry to feed our billions. I wish sustainable ways to mass produce were cheaper, but that's not the case yet.
