Founded in 2021, the Chair COAST (“COmmunication And organizing for Sustainability Transformation”) at Montpellier Business School grounds upon two axes of work: “Communication”, envisioning to transform how we talk about the ecological transition, and “Organizing”, prefiguring to transform how we walk our talk. As academics, COAST chair members strive to transform ourselves and our organizations into embedded, resilient and just communities.

We believe that we can shape the present and future of our societies in deep awareness of our planetary boundaries, bringing them back into balance by questioning and adapting our managerial, policy, and societal choices.
