What Will I Learn?

• Students will learn the evolution of sustainability and climate reporting requirements since the Exxon Valdez oil spill to the current laws and regulations.
• Be able to understand and explain the difference between voluntary and compulsory reporting and how companies report in practice.
• Understand what science based targets are and how to set them.
• Understand the accounting for scopes 1,2 and 3 and how to disclose these items.

Requirements

• You need to be aware of the latest international agreements on climate change from the IPCC regarding the Paris Agreement 2015 and what countries have committed to do in the COP meetings since then. A little bit of research and pre-course reading would be beneficial. If you have seen another training course on climate science for example it would stand you in good stead before you do this course.

Target audience

• Beginners to the sustainability and climate reporting subject are the focus of this course. You may already work in a reporting team on general disclosures or are studying finance at University or are working in general business services, an NGO or government services. So, I have designed this course to appeal to all of you.
