Climate change is a hot topic. Pun intended. And, as we enter 2025, full of purpose and good intentions, we’re seeing UK headlines warning of icy blasts and flash floods. While across the pond, the strongest wildfires in over a decade have ravaged Los Angeles devastating thousands of homes and lives.
Nature’s warning couldn’t be clearer. And LSE Executive Education is paying close attention by preparing future leaders to rise to the challenges of these changing times. Their Executive Education programme, Climate Change: Economics and Governance is equipping executives with the tools and insights to plan for an uncertain future and the organisational impact that climate change could bring.
An escalating climate crisis and increasing economic threat
The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) has confirmed that 2024 was officially the warmest year on record. It surpassed 2023, which had previously held the record and global temperature data going back to 1850 shows an alarming trend of escalating heat and increasingly extreme weather conditions.
There have been epic storms sweeping across our oceans. We’ve had torrential rains in three continents. And wild megafires that consumed more than 18 million hectares in Canada alone. The increasing impact of climate change are clear to see. And the knock-on effect this will have for global business and the world economy are expected to be intense and far-reaching.
A multidisciplinary approach for an ambiguous future
LSE has an integrative and multi-disciplinary understanding of the threats, challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. Their competitive insight and tools are helping equip leaders with what it takes to adapt to and thrive in a constantly changing world.
While we all realise the world is changing rapidly, there’s massive uncertainty around how these changes will manifest. Speculation is rife. But no one really knows exactly what the impact of climate change will be or how it will affect global markets, supply chains and consumer behaviours.
