Description
This course will introduce fundamental concepts and processes for a GHG IMS in a project management framework from the early planning stages through system deployment. The objective of this course is to explain the fundamental concepts and processes for a GHG IMS, including project planning, identifying important organizational attributes and associated data to be monitored and measured, identifying critical GHG IMS functionality, translating those requirements to an overall GHG IMS design and strategies for implementation and deployment.
This course was designed with the assumption that most corporations will be purchasing a “pre-packaged” GHG IMS solution from a software vendor versus building a custom GHG IMS internally. Although most concepts within the course, such as planning, identifying GHG IMS requirements, deployment, etc. can be applied to building a custom GHG IMS, this course does not focus on the technical development of a custom GHG solution.
“I enjoyed learning about GHG information systems and what it entails to set up a robust and quality GHG IMS.”
– Jacob Simwero, Kenya
“This course is a great supplement to the 201 Course. As an organization who will start its GHG accounting, this course has greatly increased my knowledge what data to capture this early on and designing data structure.”
– Gmelina Baguinon, Philippines
