School of BusinessSchool of BusinessLeicester Masterclass 2024DescriptionThe Leicester Masterclass 2024 is themed around Business Sustainability. As the World Meteorological Office (WMO) report that 2023 was the warmest year on record, with global average near-surface temperatures of 1,45 degrees C above the pre-industrial baseline, we focus our Masterclass 2024 on sustainability. Throughout the week we will explore climate science to help us to better frame the actions we can take. We will then explore both individual and organisational contributions to global warming. Assessing carbon footprints and exploring the climate damaging behaviours of different sectors, we will work collectively towards the creation of action plans.
As part of the Masterclass, you will have the opportunity to demonstrate your commitment to sustainability, by applying for your personal carbon literacy accreditation. Awarded by the Carbon Trust, this accreditation encourages you to make individual and organisational commitments to climate positive behaviour, and is a transferrable award.
