This teaching resource provides lecture files (Google Slides), lecture notes, and student assignments and can be scaled up or down to fit the lecture needs. Topics covered in the modules include Sustainability, Climate Change, and ESG; Triple Bottom Line; Greenhouse Gas (GHG) and Climate Change; Greenhouse Gas Emissions; ESG Reporting Frameworks; ESG Regulatory Compliance Entities; and Related Reports such a Life Cycle Analysis (LCA), Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), and Health Product Declaration (HPD)
