ISO 14064-1:2018 Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions and Removals
About This Course
This course equips learners with the advanced competencies required to design and implement robust greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions accounting and management systems in alignment with ISO 14064-1:2018. Participants will explore foundational principles of GHG accounting and its alignment with science-based targets and global reporting standards. Through practical engagement with risk-informed planning and emissions reduction strategies, learners will develop the ability to ensure regulatory compliance and integrate GHG efforts into broader sustainability frameworks.
A key focus of the course is operationalizing emissions reduction across energy systems and supply chains using lifecycle methodologies, data analysis, and baseline assessments. Learners will also gain critical skills in carbon offset planning, including how to define emission scopes, apply global warming potentials, and formulate strategies that are economically viable and optimized for carbon credits. The course delivers real-world applications that prepare participants to drive measurable climate action within their organizations.
With global regulatory and investor scrutiny intensifying around climate accountability, this course provides essential upskilling for professionals engaged in environmental management, corporate sustainability, and energy transition planning. Proficiency in ISO 14064-1:2018 significantly enhances employability across diverse industries by equipping learners with the tools to quantify, report, and reduce organizational GHG emissions. Graduates of this course will be well-positioned to pursue career advancement, transition into sustainability-focused roles, or support companies in meeting carbon neutrality goals.
This course is at beginnner to intermediate level, designed for professionals who have a foundational understanding of environmental systems or sustainability practices and are seeking to deepen their expertise in GHG accounting and carbon strategy.
