CAPACITY DEVELOPMENT, GUIDANCE & TRAINING

Advancing Local & Regional GHG Reduction Efforts

City, state, and regional governments are accelerating their climate action by tracking emissions, setting reduction targets, and enacting policies. The Greenhouse Gas Management Institute (GHGMI) supports these efforts by partnering with subnational governments to strengthen greenhouse gas (GHG) measurement, reporting, and verification (MRV) systems through tailored guidance, training, and support for inventory development.

IN-STATE TRAINING

Verifier Accreditation Training

Working in partnership with state regulators, GHGMI develops state-specific verifier training programs that provide professionals with the specialized knowledge and skills necessary to effectively assess and verify GHG emissions for compliance with various state regulatory programs. With an increasing focus on reducing GHG emissions, the demand for qualified verifiers who can ensure the accuracy and integrity of data is paramount.

As an implementing partner to the California Air Resources Board (CARB), GHGMI and our project partner, The Climate Registry, developed and delivered CARB’s LCFS Verifier Accreditation Training and Offset Training programs. Our trainings cover the key aspects of GHG assessment and verification specific to the state’s regulatory programs. Participants learn about relevant state regulations, reporting requirements, and compliance obligations. Through a combination of expert instruction, interactive sessions, practical exercises, and examinations, participants gain hands-on experience conducting GHG emissions assessments, verifying emissions data, and preparing verification reports that meet state regulatory standards.

RECOMMENDED COURSE

204: Subnational GHG Accounting

Tracking GHG emissions is fundamental to implementing effective climate action. Subnational governments should be equipped to understand the process of emissions tracking to prioritize climate actions and enhance the design of their emissions reduction strategies. Our online course, 204 Basics of Subnational GHG Accounting, is a trusted resource for subnational governments, empowering them to train their staff in tracking GHG emissions.
