GHGMI at the Asian Clean Energy Forum (ACEF) Regional Workshop on GHG Inventories and Accounting
The first regional workshop on GHG inventories and accounting took place at the 5th Asian Clean Energy Forum (ACEF) hosted by ADB and USAID on June 21, 2010 in ADB’s headquarters in Manila. GHGMI’s Gao Pronove presented at the workshop and shared GHGMI’s experience as the leading training provider for GHG accounting, verification, and management. The ACEF website features all of the presentations, including GHGMI’s.
The workshop was organized by USAID and ADB and recognizes “the critical role that greenhouse gas (GHG) inventories and accounting play in formulating and supporting effective policies for mitigating climate change” and promoting clean energy. The workshop followed two main themes: understanding the roles of different stakeholders, including manufacturers, utilities, civil society, and national, regional, and local governments; and sharing experience with approaches for developing GHG programs (both internationally and within Asia) that build on existing systems where possible and create new systems where needed.
GHGMI was very pleased to share its experience offering certificate training programs in –
- GHG Accounting
- Organizational GHG Management
- GHG Accounting and Verification
- GHG Offset Projects

- Advanced GHG Offset Projects
GHGMI also shared its experience in developing professional certification standards for individual GHG professionals. The importance of developing a global workforce that is qualified and well-trained was discussed during the workshop.
