What you'll learn

  • Background of why carbon footprint calculations are becoming so important for businesses.
  • Why there is a push for net zero globally, fundamental step is to identify carbon emissions before approaching net zero.
  • What is IPCC, UNFCCC, Conference of parties? what was paris climate summit? how to calculate carbon footprint?
  • example calculations of emission factor sources, UK Defra, and case study for calculating scope-1,2, and 3
  • focused on recent graduates or students in their final year graduation of engineering, sciences or general streams to make them market ready
  • Interactive learning and post course completion support,

Course content

3 sections • 11 lectures • 2h 29m total length

  • Introduction to the topic.4:23

    This is an introductory video in which I introduce you to the course content and the way forward in the series of carbon footprint tutorials.

  • Role of IPCC and UNFCCC and global push for GHG emissions calculations.12:24

    This module will enhance your understanding of the motivations behind the push for carbon calculations. It will explore the contributions of two leading organizations, the IPCC and the UNFCCC, and explain the significance of Conference of Parties (COP) events. Additionally, it will discuss why the COP-21 Paris Climate Summit is considered the most important among these gatherings.

  • What is Greenhouse gas effect and important terms from global standards.15:24

    This module will introduce you to the greenhouse gas effect and connect it with the fundamental concepts we studied in high school. This section will also highlight the GHG gases identified by the IPCC, some important terms, and their definitions based on globally recognized standards.

Requirements

  • No prerequisites. basic maths.
