Carbon Footprint Level 2 (advanced)
Advanced Strategies for Carbon Neutrality
Target Audience: Professionals in the areas of sustainability and the environment; investment funds; landowners; farmers; companies that want to offset their CO2 emissions; and anyone interested in the topic.
Context
The pressure to transition to a low-carbon economy is increasing, and companies are increasingly called upon to present clear carbon neutrality strategies. This process requires a solid understanding of their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in areas 1, 2, and 3, as well as the identification of concrete opportunities to reduce their carbon footprint. Beyond direct emissions reduction, it becomes essential to assess the viability of investments through cost/benefit analyses that include the social cost of carbon, explore voluntary and mandatory carbon markets, and consider effective carbon sequestration solutions. This training integrates a two-level program designed to provide a solid foundation in the fundamental concepts and key methodologies associated with carbon footprint and carbon neutrality. Participants will learn how to implement effective emissions reduction solutions, explore carbon markets, and understand how to manage the company's historical carbon footprint. This level offers a practical approach for companies wishing to advance the implementation of concrete sustainability actions.
