Sustainability

Environment topics appear at IIMs more frequently than most students realize—and they’re becoming increasingly sophisticated. Gone are the days of simple “Save the environment” essays. Today’s topics demand nuanced analysis: Can economic growth coexist with sustainability? Is corporate greenwashing worse than doing nothing? Should air quality be a fundamental right? This comprehensive guide covers 50+ environment WAT topics organized by category (climate, business, technology, social), shows how these topics connect to other WAT categories, and provides the GREEN framework for structured responses that score 8+/10.
