This chapter argues that MBA graduates are uniquely positioned to address the urgent and massive climate and sustainability challenges facing the world today. Author Katie Kross emphasizes that the private sector plays a crucial role in driving positive global change. She presents five core reasons for MBAs to consider a climate or sustainability career: these solutions desperately need business leadership, today’s business leaders are increasingly expected to be sustainability leaders, these careers are profoundly rewarding, these careers are intellectually interesting, and MBAs entering this field are joining a growing, supportive community.
