Interested in greenhouse gas management? Get ahead of the curve and learn this increasingly necessary skill set today!

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. Greenhouse gas reduction requirements are becoming increasingly common at the local, state and federal levels, including:

• Executive Order 13514 – Requires federal agencies to reduce GHG emissions
• EPA Mandatory Reporting Rule – Requires all large GHG emitters to submit annual reports to the EPA, covering 85% of US greenhouse gas emissions.
• SEC Climate Change Disclosure Guidance – Requires all publicly traded companies to properly evaluate and disclose material environmental risks arising from climate change.
• Assembly Bill 32 (California) – Requires emitters in the state of California to reduce emissions to 1990 levels by 2020.

In light of increasing regulations, a large pool of specialists is needed to manage these processes. This online course is geared towards consultants, as well as private and public sector employees tasked with developing organizational greenhouse gas inventories. The course is based on international best practices including the World Resource Institute’s GHG Protocol, and the ISO 14064-1 standards.

The course includes quizzes, exercises, and discussions forums that will help you apply the key concepts covered. A certificate of participation will be awarded to all participants as part of the course. A certificate of proficiency will only be awarded to those who pass the final exam with a score of 75% or better.
