How Chat-GPT4 Ranks The Best Business Schools For Sustainability

 

Sustainability is hot.

Today, the fastest-growing segment of the economy is directly linked to combating the climate crisis. According to LinkedIn’s Global Green Skills Report 2022, green jobs grew by more than a third from 2015 to 2021, from 9.6 percent to 13.3 percent, and renewable and environmental jobs grew by a staggering 237 percent over the last five years. The Financial Times reported that CEOs are finding it challenging to find talent that understand how businesses affect the climate and how the climate affects business. This skills gap only looks to widen in the near future (see Climate Change Jobs: How Business Schools Can Fill The Gap).

That’s one reason why a group of Stanford MBAs are trying to quantify, in actual gigatons, the real impact emerging solutions have on the climate. Their target audience? Talented young professionals looking for careers with impact.
