Funders, regulators, customers and supply chain partners now ask organisations to quantify their emissions, explain their exposure to heat, flood and drought, and show a credible plan. Few teams have staff who can do all three with confidence.
Five days give environment, sustainability and operations professionals a working method. You set organisational boundaries, collect activity data and calculate Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions using the GHG Protocol and published emission factors, then check quality, uncertainty and reporting formats. The adaptation strand covers hazard and vulnerability assessment, risk registers, nature-based and engineered options, and how to screen projects for climate resilience. You also study mitigation options, marginal abatement thinking, targets, offsets and the difference between genuine reductions and claims that fail scrutiny, alongside the national and international policy context such as Nationally Determined Contributions. Sustainability officers, environmental managers, HSE and facilities staff, project and programme officers, county and government planners, NGO climate advisers and finance staff preparing disclosures will find it directly applicable. Afterwards you can build a basic carbon inventory, draft a climate risk register and propose a costed action plan. Classroom, online and in-house, with a CPD-accredited certificate.
Climate change has moved from a distant policy topic to an operating issue. Droughts disrupt water and power, floods cut roads and warehouses, and heat reduces working hours and crop yields. At the same time, climate-related reporting, carbon markets and green finance require organisations to count their emissions in a consistent way and to show what they are doing about them.
The Professional Climate Action, Adaptation & Carbon Accounting Training Course combines both sides of the response. The accounting block explains greenhouse gases, global warming potentials and the GHG Protocol corporate standard, and teaches participants to build an inventory from fuel, electricity, transport, waste, procurement and travel records. The adaptation block teaches climate hazard, exposure and vulnerability analysis and the preparation of risk registers and adaptation options with cost and benefit considerations. The action block links the two through target setting, reduction pathways, climate finance sources and monitoring.
Participants practise with spreadsheets and realistic data sets, interpret results and present recommendations. They complete the programme with a draft emissions inventory, a climate risk register and a prioritised action plan for an organisation or project of their choice.
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
