Profile
"‹"‹It is now widely accepted that human activity is contributing significantly to negative impacts on our planet. Climate change is one of the most urgent issues of our time. To avoid the worst effects and keep the rise in global temperatures to no more than 1.5°C by the end of the century compared to the pre-industrial scenario, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) of eminent scientists has identified that we need to cut emissions of greenhouse gases by 40% in this decade and to global net zero by 2050. Fixing the climate change problem and securing a stable, prosperous future for the planet is a key driving force behind climate action. Carbon neutrality, which is a state of balance between carbon released into the atmosphere and the amount of carbon removed from it, is an important milestone on that pathway to Net Zero."‹ This course equips participants with the skills necessary towards the pathway that is in accordance with International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) 14068-1:2023.
What You'll Learn
"‹"‹This 2-day course revisits some of the key concepts, principles and practices, of organisational Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions and removals quantification and reporting, outlined in International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) 14064-1; and summarises related requirements for carbon footprinting of products, under ISO 14067. This refresh then provides the foundation required to know and understand the key principles and requirements for demonstrating carbon neutrality, following a hierarchy on a pathway to Net Zero, outlined by ISO 14068-1. The course aims to explain how the pathway is used in developing a carbon neutrality management plan, the methodologies used for carbon footprint quantification, use of offset, and provides clear guidance for those responsible for the achievement of carbon neutrality."‹
Minimum Entry Requirement
"‹"‹Basic English Proficiency. Participants should have at least 3 years of working experience. Participants are required to complete and pass the examinations for the British Standards Institution (BSI) Greenhouse Gas Practitioner Qualification."‹
