Description:

4.00 credits EPS3523 Environmental and Sustainable Entrepreneurship 4 credit (General Credit) Like never before, corporations and consumers around the world are confronting the realities of climate change, energy consumption, and economic growth. At its most fundamental level, humanity's demand for energy in order to grow and prosper is set hard against the realities of climate change and the impacts of business-as-usual on the environment. A new generation of opportunity obsessed, environmentally passionate entrepreneurial leaders will go beyond business-as-usual and identify and commercialize the green, sustainable businesses of the future. Many believe this green transition will be the equivalent to what information technology was when it was booming. The course will guide students through a historical "walk" which will provide the context of how we got here, understand what the drivers of change are in environmental businesses and understand how the carbon economy will affect business. Students will be better able to analyze, identify and shape opportunities in key industries as they relate to the environmental economy: energy (wind, solar, geothermal, etc), water, waste, food, etc. This course will be carbon neutral and students will calculate their carbon footprint.
