Applied Sustainability Entrepreneurship Summer in Brazil
The Forest Fund will be running a summer course in applied sustainability entrepreneurship, bringing students to the deforestation forefront to understand the economics of destruction firsthand. They will learn about sustainability problems and analyze the local and international markets that have generated them (lots of externalities!). By the end of the six weeks they will have formed small teams, picked a sustainability problem, and written and pitched a business plan for a startup to address the problem.
Below is the flyer for the summer course and here is a link to an interview by The Office of Sustainability at Harvard (https://green.harvard.edu/news/understanding-economics-deforestation-amazon).
