Droughts, floods and heat already disrupt farms, supply chains, infrastructure and public services, while investors, buyers and donors increasingly ask organisations to show their emissions and their plans to cut them. Five days bring adaptation and mitigation together so you can respond on both fronts. You begin with climate science essentials, the Paris Agreement, nationally determined contributions and national adaptation plans, and what they mean for organisations and local governments.
Adaptation sessions cover climate risk and vulnerability assessment, hazard and exposure mapping, climate information services, nature-based solutions, ecosystem-based and locally led adaptation, and screening projects for climate risk. Carbon accounting sessions take you through organisational and operational boundaries, Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions under the GHG Protocol, emission factors, ISO 14064-1, verification and reduction targets aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative. Reporting and finance topics include IFRS S2 climate disclosures, carbon markets under Article 6 and access to sources such as the Green Climate Fund. Environmental and sustainability officers, county and municipal planners, NGO programme staff, ESG analysts and energy managers will benefit. Classroom, online and in-house delivery lead to a CPD-accredited certificate.
Climate change has moved from a distant environmental issue to an everyday operational and financial risk. Public institutions must plan for more frequent extreme events, companies face disclosure requirements and customer expectations on emissions, and development programmes are judged on their resilience outcomes. Organisations that understand both their exposure to climate impacts and their contribution to emissions are better placed to protect communities, attract finance and comply with emerging reporting standards.
The Best Practices in Climate Action, Adaptation & Carbon Accounting Training Course covers the two halves of climate action in a single, coherent programme. After establishing the scientific and policy context, it turns to adaptation: assessing risk and vulnerability, selecting and prioritising adaptation options and integrating resilience into plans, budgets and projects. It then addresses mitigation through carbon accounting: building a greenhouse gas inventory, collecting activity data, applying emission factors, managing data quality and preparing for verification. The final day links the two through target setting, transition planning, climate finance and disclosure, so participants can present a joined-up climate strategy to decision-makers.
Participants complete a vulnerability assessment for a case study area and build a working emissions inventory in a spreadsheet using sample organisational data. Group work and discussion draw on examples from agriculture, energy, water, cities and the private sector.
Five days of training will enable participants to:
