This study aimed at examining the current status of climate change and sustainability education in business and management training at Uganda Management Institute. The research design was convergent parallel mixed methods. Survey and interview data was collected from 237 students and faculty using online questionnaires and interview guides. The findings revealed that the institution has a few courses where climate change and sustainability aspects are integrated illustrating a serious gap in curricular and training. It emerged that limited research on climate change and sustainability has been conducted by faculty and students at UMI. Findings indicate that the institution has not adequately explored the third mission (outreach and community engagement) to promote sustainability and address climate change issues. The findings could support engagement of university leaders and other actors to effectively explore ways of ensuring that they significantly address issues of climate change and promote sustainability within business and management training.
