BS4CL around the world
Connecting Our Worldwide Community for Impactful Change
BS4CL Clusters
BS4CL collaborates with independently founded and managed clusters, BS4CL Africa and BS4CL Middle East. These regional clusters operate autonomously, addressing local challenges and opportunities while aligning with BS4CL’s broader mission. Each cluster independently selects its own members, ensuring full decision-making autonomy. This collaboration fosters a broad approach to sustainable business practices and leadership, leveraging the diverse insights and expertise from each cluster to drive impactful initiatives on a global scale.
BS4CL Africa:
Six African business schools joined the Business Schools for Climate Leadership community in Nov 2022 at COP27. The leading schools from the continent recognize the critical role higher education can play in addressing climate change through the Cairo Declaration for Business Schools for Climate Leadership Africa (BS4CL Africa), launched with the African Chapter of the Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME). The initiative aims to build a collaborative framework for climate action to transform business education curricula that matches the needs and adapts to the realities of the African continent. It invites contributions from the private sector and civil society.
