Course content

2 sections • 12 lectures • 1h 10m total length

  • Welcome to Carbon Accounting community!0:04
  • Introduction. Sustainable Development and Climate Change2:39

    Explore basics of climate change, greenhouse gases, and the carbon footprint. Examine how the Paris Climate Agreement, UN Sustainable Development Goals, and best international practices guide calculation optimization and offsetting.

  • Sustainable Development and SDGs1:37

    Explore the United Nations sustainable development goals defined by the Brundtland Commission and the three pillars of sustainability, with indicators beyond gdp to measure environmental, economic, and social progress.

  • Climate Risk4:19

    Learn how climate risk affects company value by weighing profitability against physical and transition risks. Examine acute and chronic physical risks and ESG factors shaping investor assessments.

  • The Paris Agreement2:23

    The Paris Agreement, signed in 2015, replaces the Kyoto Protocol and commits countries to limit warming to 1.5–2 degrees Celsius, report every five years, and pursue net zero by 2100.

  • Greenhouse Gases and IPCC2:36

    Explain the types and sources of greenhouse gases, including CO2, methane, nitrous oxide, and fluorinated gases, and show how the IPCC provides conversion factors to CO2 equivalents.

  • Carbon footprint1:18

    Distinguish the carbon footprint from the ecological footprint by framing greenhouse gas emissions versus overall resource use and waste; relate sustainability, climate, SDGs, and the Paris Agreement to these footprints.

Description

Welcome to the first module of Greenhouse Gas Emission Calculation Methodology by International Practices Course by HPBS BV company. The program was developed by HPBS experts and is part of an ecosystem of educational trainings in the field of sustainable development, green economy and reducing the ecological footprint.


In this module, you will look at what sustainability is and what is happening to the climate.  You will learn about Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Agreement. In the first section you will figure out what greenhouse gases are and what a carbon footprint is, and how a carbon footprint differs from an ecological footprint. In the next section you will specify and review Scope 1 GHG emission sources, discover  what type of data can be used for quantification of GHG emissions, go through coefficients and emissions factors that are used when calculating greenhouse gas emissions.

As the practical task you will detect direct greenhouse gases emissions sources for Scope 1 and we will perform some calculations for direct emissions.

The following questions are addressed in this module:

  • basic concepts of climate change

  • types of climate risks

  • greenhouse gases

  • carbon footprint

  • sources of direct emissions of the organization (which are Scope 1 emissions);

  • input data needed for estimation of Scope 1 emissions

  • details of Scope 1 emissions calculations;

  • and practice some calculations ourselves.

After this module we highly recommend you to continue studding GHG Emission Calculation Methodology for Scope 2  and Scope 3 with the courses which you can find in our Instructor profile.

Who this course is for:

  • specialists involved in the calculation of the carbon footprint, LCA and EPD, risk managers
  • owners of small and medium-sized businesses planning to scale production and enter the international market
  • ESG, ecology and sustainable development specialists
