Lenders, investors, buyers and regulators now ask organisations to quantify their emissions, show credible reduction pathways and explain how a changing climate will affect their assets, supply chains and communities. Getting the numbers or the risk analysis wrong exposes an organisation to accusations of greenwashing, lost contracts and poor investment decisions. Five days take you deep into the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard and ISO 14064-1, organisational and operational boundaries, Scope 1 and Scope 2 location-based and market-based methods, the 15 Scope 3 categories, emission factors, base-year recalculation and verification under ISO 14064-3.
Adaptation sessions cover climate risk and vulnerability assessment, physical and transition risk scenario analysis, nature-based solutions and resilience planning linked to national adaptation plans. You also examine net-zero and SBTi target setting, transition plans, IFRS S2 and TCFD-aligned disclosure, Article 6 of the Paris Agreement and voluntary carbon market integrity, including the ICVCM Core Carbon Principles. Sustainability managers, environmental officers, ESG analysts, climate finance specialists, energy managers, auditors and climate policy officers in companies, banks, government and NGOs will benefit. Attend in a classroom, online or in-house and earn a CPD-accredited certificate.
Climate commitments have moved from voluntary pledges to expectations written into investor requirements, procurement criteria, disclosure standards and national policy. Organisations are expected to measure their greenhouse gas emissions to a recognised standard, set targets that align with climate science, and demonstrate that they understand and are managing the physical and transition risks they face. For many African economies, adaptation is just as urgent as mitigation, because drought, flooding and heat already disrupt agriculture, infrastructure and public services.
The Advanced Climate Action, Adaptation & Carbon Accounting Training Course is built for practitioners who already know the basics and need technical depth. It starts with the policy and disclosure landscape and then works through full inventory development, from boundary setting and activity data collection to calculations, uncertainty and assurance, with dedicated time on value-chain emissions. The second half moves from measuring to acting: assessing climate hazards, exposure and vulnerability, prioritising adaptation measures, setting reduction targets and transition plans, and understanding when and how carbon credits can play a role without undermining credibility.
Participants complete calculations in spreadsheet tools using sample activity data, analyse climate risk for a real-world asset or programme, and draft a climate action roadmap that links inventory results, targets, adaptation priorities and disclosure.
At the end of the course, participants will be able to:
The week leaves participants with:
Technical depth comes from doing the calculations and analyses yourself. The course uses:
