Enterprise and the Environment Summer School

About

Our Enterprise and the Environment Summer School is designed, delivered and managed within the University of Oxford, with teaching led by world class academics at the forefront of their fields. During the Summer School we will explore critical global environmental challenges in the 21st century through a combination of rigorous science and diverse stakeholder engagement and the value of the environment to enterprise. This is a unique experience to live, learn and grow from an unparalleled learning experience. The themes to be explored will include:

- How does climate change affect economic stability?
- How do financial markets drive long-term environmental decision-making?
- Is the 1.5 degree threshold of the Paris climate change agreement possible?
- How can we safeguard clean water for everyone?
- What is the future of energy markets?
- What can corporations do to protect biodiversity?
