• Using a simple “ABC” approach, for each area of study we will briefly review the historical context surrounding the topic “About”; understand the context of the need for the specific SDG “Background”; then we will establish the “Content and Current situation” surrounding the issue at hand (using graphs and data);
• Students will then be introduced to business-related examples of the efforts and innovation being applied to achieve the respective SDGs using case studies and examples from various sources with a particular focus on innovation and technology.
