Developing a low carbon strategy

From carbon footprint measurement to transition plan
SBC-EN-P

Who should attend?

  • Since the Paris Agreement, countries have agreed on a global warming threshold that should not exceed 2°C above 1850 levels by 2100.
  • This implies, first and foremost, reducing anthropogenic GHG emissions, which governments are translating into their own legislation. Companies must therefore transform and act to measure their carbon footprint and build a robust climate strategy.
Public :
  • This course is targeting anyone wishing to discover and/or deepen their knowledge of GHG emissions quantification and reporting methods (GHG Protocol, Bilan Carbone®, ISO 14064/69).
  • This course is aimed at: company and engineering office staff working as HSE or CSR coordinators, project managers & consultants on sustainability.

Level :Knowledge

Prerequisite :
  • Basic knowledge on climate change and MS Office Excel.

Learning Objectives

  • Attendees will be able to implement the following skills:
  • Master the main principles of a carbon footprint assessment.
  • Differentiate between the different available national & international standards for carrying out your company’s carbon footprint (GHG Protocol, Bilan Carbone®, ISO 14064/69).
  • Identify the key stages following the completion of a carbon footprint (emissions reduction target, action plan, integration into low-carbon strategy .... etc.).

Ways & Means

  • Quiz.
  • Case studies.

Learning assessment
