Organizations increasingly need to report their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, identify and implement measures to reduce their carbon footprints, apply adaptation techniques to prepare for emerging climatic conditions, and actively manage such activities to bring about climate-change-busting actions.
This course focuses on the application of related standards, including ISO 14064, ISO 14068, and ISO 14090, that have been developed specifically to help organizations manage their GHG emissions, and address the risks associated with climate change. Specifically:
- ISO 14064-1:2018: Specification with guidance at the organization level for quantification and reporting of greenhouse gas emissions and removals
- ISO 14068-1:2023: Climate change management – Transition to net zero, Part 1: Carbon neutrality
- ISO 14090:2019: Adaptation to climate change – Principles, requirements and guidelines
This 2-day course is designed to equip professionals with the critical knowledge and competencies required to develop a comprehensive carbon management plan. Leveraging science-based methodologies for the reduction and removal of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, the course considers emerging and predicted climatic conditions, to ensure the plan is robust, well-resourced, and employs the full support of top management, facilitating effective and efficient implementation.
