Organizational Greenhouse Gas Accounting - Atlanta, GA
Overview
A growing trend towards greenhouse gas reporting and regulation has prompted the need for a new skill set for corporations, consultants, engineering firms and auditors. As evidenced by Executive Order 13514, requiring Federal Agencies to reduce GHG emissions, the EPA’s Mandatory GHG Reporting Rule for industry, the SEC’s climate change disclosure guidance, and impending legislation at the federal level, a large pool of specialists is needed to manage these processes.
Course Description
In the context of national and international greenhouse gas regulations and trends, this course focuses on how to measure, manage and report GHG emissions in conformance with widely accepted international standards (The Greenhouse Gas Protocol Corporate Standard and ISO 14064-1). The course also provides an overview of the carbon markets, offsets and the current state of climate policy. By the end of the course attendees should have the skills necessary to create a GHG inventory, an understanding of GHG policy and regulations, and working knowledge of carbon markets and carbon offset origination.
The course will consist of lectures, exercises and case studies that will help you apply key concepts. A certificate of participation is included as part of the course. For a more detailed course outline click here.
