INTRODUCTION FOR BASIC GREENHOUSE GAS (GHG) CALCULATION, MITIGATION, AUDIT AND REPORTING TRAINING
This course aims at professionals responsible for measuring, reporting and managing carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for their organization. This course will provide you the latest information regarding GHG emissions accounting and management and focuses on areas such as: background to climate change, developing a carbon accounting system, managing GHG emissions and options for reducing GHG emissions. You will also be equipped to communicate effectively the imperative of reducing the GHG emissions with colleagues.
This training is designed to provide participants with essential understanding of carbon accounting approaches and methodologies based on ISO14064 and the GHG Protocol: Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standards. These standards besides have formed the basis of many local and international schemes, they also provide tools for industries and governments in developing their programs to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
