Objectives
At the end of this course learners will be able to:
• Describe definitions in and requirements of ISO 14064-1
• Identify concepts related to ISO 14064-1
• Explain framework and importance of design and development for verifiable GHG Inventory systems and procedures
• Describe framework and importance of a GHG management handbook and GHG Information Management System (IMS)
• Summarize tools, methods and good practice guidance related to GHG protocol for corporate accounting
• Recap tools, methods and good practice to develop inventory requirements of ISO 14064-1
Course Description
This introductory course provides basic knowledge and understanding that helps organizations quantify and manage their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The course includes a basic introduction to GHGs and a review of the requirements of ISO 14064-1 to determine GHG emission limits, quantify an organization's GHG emissions and removals, and identify activities to improve the management of GHGs. It also outlines the requirements and guidance on responsibilities related to inventory verification activities. In addition, it describes the interrelationships between the requirements of ISO 14064-1 and existing regional and national GHG programs and other important protocols and standards, including ISO 14001 and the World Business Council on Sustainable Development of Greenhouse Gas Protocol.
