How can management education truly contribute to halting biodiversity loss? A new chapter, written by Rafael Ziegler, Nadia Ponce Morales, and Mathieu Bouchard, explores this question through the lens of an obligatory course at HEC Montréal in the Master’s in Sustainability and Management.
The drivers of biodiversity loss remain deeply embedded in how we “do business.” Management education must go beyond addressing direct drivers of biodiversity destruction and, instead, cultivate biodiversity thinking—a combination of value reflection, environmental literacy, and experiential learning.
An educational approach that blends individual assignments, lectures, and group foresight work. Our case shows promising signs: students engage critically with biodiversity values, even if instrumental perspectives still dominate in group settings. This reinforces the need for long term, whole of university approaches to sustainability.
