Certificate in ISO 14064-1:2018 – Quantification and Reporting of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions Familiarisation

Course Description:

This familiarisation course provides a comprehensive introduction to ISO 14064-1:2018, the international standard for the quantification and reporting of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and removals at the organisational level. Designed for professionals seeking a foundational understanding of GHG inventory development, this course explores key principles, methodologies, and reporting requirements aligned with global best practices in climate-related disclosures and environmental management.

Participants will gain insight into the framework used for identifying GHG sources, calculating emissions and removals, improving data accuracy, and preparing transparent and verifiable GHG reports. The course also addresses the relevance of ISO 14064-1 in the context of regulatory compliance, sustainability strategies, carbon footprint assessments, and voluntary GHG programs.
