Course content

7 sections • 24 lectures • 2h 9m total length

  • Introduction4:03
  • Climate change mitigation5:37

    Explore climate change mitigation strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, cut fossil fuel use, and achieve net zero by 2050, clarifying carbon neutrality and ISO definitions along the way.

  • Principal greenhouse gases (GHGs)6:30

    Explore the principal greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and fluorinated gases, their warming potential, atmospheric persistence, and implications for organizational carbon neutrality.

  • Greenhouse gas emissions6:25

    Explore direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions and the scope classification—scope 1, 2, and 3—using the GHG Protocol framework and practical examples.

Requirements

  • No previous knowledge or training is necessary to understand the subjects

Description

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 GHG emissions sources or the calculation of GHG emissions.

As part of its process to achieve carbon neutrality an organization should look to find solutions of GHG emissions 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 GHG emissions.

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 ISO standards (e.g. ISO 14068, ISO 14064-1) 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.

Who this course is for:

  • Professionals in sustainability
  • Environmental managers
  • Energy management professionals
  • Social responsibility managers
  • Anyone intersted in understanding carbon neutrality and GHG emissions management
