GHG Accouning

About Course

This course provides a comprehensive understanding of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) accounting based on internationally recognized standards such as the GHG Protocol. Learners will explore Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, data collection methodologies, and reporting frameworks used by organizations to measure and manage their carbon footprint. Through real-world examples and practical exercises, participants will gain the skills to conduct accurate GHG inventories and support corporate climate strategies. Ideal for sustainability professionals, analysts, and students, this course equips you to drive climate action through transparent and effective emissions accounting and reporting.

In this GHG Accounting course, you will learn how to measure, track, and report greenhouse gas emissions using globally recognized standards like the GHG Protocol. You’ll understand the differences between Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions and gain practical skills in collecting data, applying emission factors, and preparing GHG inventories. The course will also introduce you to key frameworks such as ISO 14064, CDP, and TCFD. By the end, you will be equipped to support corporate climate strategies, ensure regulatory compliance, and contribute to emissions reduction goals through accurate and transparent carbon accounting.
