This course provides comprehensive and detailed guidance on how to account for forest-related GHG emissions and removals when preparing an organizational GHG inventory.
Many organizations are taking steps to better understand, manage, and track their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and several internationally acclaimed resources are available to specifically assist organizations with the essential step of preparing a GHG inventory. The important role for forests in GHG emissions management is widely recognized, but there are fewer resources to help organizations account for forest-related GHG emissions and removals in their GHG emission inventories. This course fills this need by providing comprehensive and detailed guidance on developing forest GHG inventories, which will help your organization:
There are a wide variety of GHG programs that include a role for forests and thus provide some guidance on forest GHG accounting. For instance:
The forest-related guidance provided in these programs ranges in terms of purpose, scope, and specificity. This course draws on all of these resources and provides comprehensive and flexible guidance specifically on how to prepare an organizational GHG inventory covering forest GHG emissions and removals. To date, there are no international consensus methods on this topic.
To remain consistent with widely approved international standards, the course draws on the terminology and structure of WRI/WBCSD GHG Protocol Corporate Standard.
The course includes quizzes and exercises to help you learn to apply key lessons. A Certificate of Proficiency is available and requires the passing of an exam for an additional fee.
