Organizations are increasingly needing to report their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and take action to reduce their carbon footprints. This course focuses on the ISO 14064 series of standards that have been developed specifically to help organizations manage their greenhouse gas emissions:

• ISO 14064-1:2018: Specification with guidance at the organization level for quantification and reporting of greenhouse gas emissions and removals
• ISO 14064-2:2019: Specification with guidance at the project level for quantification, monitoring and reporting of greenhouse gas emission reductions or removal enhancements
• ISO 14064-3:2019: Specification with guidance for the verification and validation of greenhouse gas statements

The course is built around a comprehensive Case Study which you will audit. This will enable you to apply process improvement auditing to an organization (covering reactive, incremental and stepped change improvements).

How will I benefit? 

• Understand the key principles of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
• Define the GHG emission boundaries for your organization 
• Quantify and report on your organization’s GHG emissions
• Recognize how projects can be used to reduce or remove GHG emissions
• Become familiar with GHG emissions verification and validation processes 
• Appreciate the importance of verifying/validating GHG statements and reports 

What will I learn?

• The impact of climate change and what organizations and governments are doing to tackle it
• The key principles, requirements, terms, and guidelines of ISO 14064 parts 1, 2 and 3
• The importance and benefits of quantifying and reporting GHG emissions in accordance with ISO 14064-1. This includes defining the boundaries of your organization’s GHG emissions to measure, report and manage those emissions
• How ISO 14064-2 can be used to identify and select GHG sources, sinks and reservoirs (SSR’s), determine baselines, monitor, quantify and report on project emissions
• The ISO 14064-3 requirements and guidelines for verifying GHG statements related to GHG inventories, GHG projects and the process for verification or validation

Who should attend?

Anyone required to calculate, reduce, report and/or check their organization’s greenhouse gas emissions, including environmental and sustainability managers, officers, advisors and champions.

Duration

4 days

How will I learn?

Our high impact accelerated learning methodology improves knowledge retention and skill development. This course is interactive and activity-based, resulting in a deeper understanding of the content and more effective application in the workplace.

What will I gain?

On completion, you’ll be awarded an internationally recognized BSI Training Academy certificate.

Prerequisites

There are no formal prerequisites, however, it will be useful for delegates to read the relevant standards before attending the course. A basic understanding of global warming issues would be helpful. 

Further information

By taking and passing the optional end of course qualification exam you will be awarded the BSI Greenhouse Gas Practitioner Qualification.
