Introduction

Climate change has taken centre-stage as the pre-eminent global environmental challenge of the 21st century. Reducing the greenhouse gas emissions that cause climate change has, as a result, become a principal objective of business. Delivering these cuts efficiently has led to over 40 governments at regional, national and international level to develop carbon trading regimes.

The essential implication of carbon trading is that an organisation’s climate change strategies are increasingly important in limiting exposure to financial and legal risks. The broader implication of carbon-trading is that increasingly it pays companies to invest in developing a climate change and emissions trading strategy that ensures these risks are limited, and that any potential opportunities that arise from emissions trading are fully exploited.

Objectives

To provide delegates with the understanding, knowledge and the action-steps that organisations need to take to put their climate change and emission trading strategies together. These action-steps are presented, during the course, by the following topics

Understanding the basics: the first step is to understand what climate change and emission trading services are and what they mean for your organisation
Emissions trading programme: the development of a climate change and emission trading programme and setting of exposure acceptance parameters
Develop a management strategy: selecting internal emission reductions; purchasing credits and/or generating credits in order to ensure compliance of the ‘Kyoto Protocol’
Climate Change & Emissions Trading Workshop: workshop case study will learn how to implement each of the action-steps

Training Methodology

The course is presented through an interactive presentation, supported by videos, delegate exercises and, a workshop case study in which delegates will learn how to implement each of the action-steps to develop a climate change and emissions trading programme for their organisation.
