Carbon Accounting

Introduction to Carbon Accounting

This module provides a foundational understanding of carbon accounting, the systematic process of measuring, tracking, and reporting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. It covers key concepts such as carbon footprints, emission scopes (Scope 1, 2, and 3), and the role of carbon accounting in corporate climate strategies. Learners will explore international standards like the GHG Protocol and ISO 14064, and understand how carbon accounting supports regulatory compliance, sustainability reporting, and emissions reduction planning. The module also introduces tools and methodologies used for accurate data collection and emissions quantification.

GHG Protocol Standards – Online Course

This course offers a comprehensive overview of the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol Standards, the world’s most widely used framework for measuring and managing greenhouse gas emissions. It covers the key standards, including the Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard, Project Protocol, and Scope 2 and Scope 3 Calculation Guidance. Participants will learn how to categorize emissions into Scopes 1, 2, and 3, apply calculation methodologies, and ensure accurate, transparent, and consistent emissions reporting. The course also explores how the GHG Protocol aligns with other sustainability frameworks such as CDP, GRI, and ISO 14064, enabling organizations to build credible and effective climate strategies.

ISO for Greenhouse Gas Accounting

This course explores the ISO 14064 series, the international standards for greenhouse gas (GHG) accounting and verification. It provides guidance on quantifying, monitoring, reporting, and validating GHG emissions and removals at the organizational and project level. Learners will gain insights into the three parts of the standard—ISO 14064-1 (organization-level), ISO 14064-2 (project-level), and ISO 14064-3 (validation and verification). The course emphasizes consistency, transparency, and credibility in carbon accounting practices, and shows how ISO 14064 supports regulatory compliance, carbon neutrality goals, and alignment with frameworks such as the GHG Protocol and CDP.

Implementing ISO 14064-1 in Corporate GHG Reporting: Integration with the GHG Protocol and Assurance with ISO 14064-3

This course provides practical guidance on implementing ISO 14064-1 for quantifying and reporting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions at the organizational level. It demonstrates how to align ISO 14064-1 with the GHG Protocol to ensure consistency and credibility in emissions reporting. The course also covers the preparation process for third-party assurance using ISO 14064-3, including documentation, data quality management, and verification procedures. Participants will gain the skills to build a robust GHG inventory, integrate it with sustainability strategies, and meet stakeholder and regulatory expectations for transparency and accountability.

Aligning Verified GHG Data with ESG Frameworks (TCFD, CDP, ISSB) for Strategic Decarbonization Planning

This course explores how organizations can integrate verified greenhouse gas (GHG) data into leading ESG reporting frameworks such as TCFD, CDP, and the ISSB Standards. Participants will learn how to translate emissions data into actionable insights that meet disclosure requirements while supporting long-term decarbonization strategies. The course also covers aligning climate-related risks and opportunities with business objectives, enhancing transparency, and driving informed decision-making across sustainability and financial functions
