What you'll learn:
- What means carbon neutrality for an organization and how to achieve it
- How to classify GHG emissions
- The calculation of the carbon footprint
- How to reduce greenhouse gas emissions
- Greenhouse gas removal methods
- What represents the offsetting of emissions
- How to report on carbon neutrality
This course provides an overview of the pathway to achieving carbon neutrality that an organization can take, regardless of its business sector, activities and associated greenhouse gas emissions.
You will learn from this course about basic concepts, including the main greenhouse gases considered to be responsible for global warming, the classification of greenhouse gas emissions (scope 1, 2 and 3), the definition of the concept of carbon neutrality or the principles that an organization should follow on its road to becoming carbon neutral.
An important part of the course is dedicated to the quantification of the carbon footprint of an organization, including the identification of GHGemissions sources or the calculation of GHGemissions.
As part of its process to achieve carbon neutrality an organization should look to find solutions of GHGemissions reductions and GHG removals.The course presents several ideas for reducing emissions as well as methods for enhancing greenhouse gas removal.
As the last step in the hierarchy of actions for carbon neutrality an organization will use offsetting, and the course explains the process of using carbon credits to offset unabated GHGemissions.
Finally, the course discusses the subjects of carbon neutrality reporting and about claims of carbon neutrality.
Throughout the entire course we will reference to the relevant documents, including ISOstandards (e.g. ISO14068, ISO14064-1) or the GHG Protocol Standard for corporate accounting and reporting.
Upgrade your knowledge of GHG emissions management and carbon neutrality with this course that offers condensed and easy to follow information.
