Abstract
Educating management students on the connections between business and climate change is essential both to their careers and to society's ability to solve the climate challenge. In order to impart deep and lasting learning on this topic, we developed a multi-school negotiation simulation that is unique in its intensiveness, cross-sector design, and transdisciplinary. This article explains our objectives, connects the choice of a role-play format to past literature, describes the curriculum we designed, and evaluates the results of its first teaching. Evaluation is based on the extent to which the course met our specific objectives, how individual elements contributed to overall learning, and the overlap between this curriculum and established precepts of good sustainability teaching. In addition, we draw lessons from our experience to guide others wishing to teach on this or related topics.
