Planning and Implementation of Climate Action, Adaptation & Carbon Accounting Training Course in Naivasha, Kenya
Classroom training in Naivasha · next cohort Nov 2, 2026 · from USD 1,500
Floods, droughts and heat are already disrupting harvests, infrastructure and supply chains, while investors and regulators ask organisations to show their emissions and a credible plan to cut them. Five days turn that pressure into a workable programme. You start with climate science essentials, national commitments and the policy setting, then assess vulnerability and risk to identify adaptation priorities for communities, sectors and facilities.
The carbon accounting stream teaches the GHG Protocol: setting boundaries, collecting activity data, applying emission factors and compiling a Scope 1, 2 and 3 inventory. You then set reduction targets, evaluate mitigation options such as energy efficiency, renewables and nature-based solutions, and look at carbon markets, climate finance and project cost-benefit analysis. Delegates finish with an implementation plan covering responsibilities, budgets, monitoring, reporting and verification. Environment and sustainability officers, county and ministry planners, NGO programme staff, corporate energy managers and climate finance analysts will gain the most. Classroom, online and in-house formats lead to a CPD-accredited certificate, and you will be able to produce an emissions baseline and a prioritised action portfolio.

About this course
Climate change has moved from a distant environmental concern to a direct operating and financial risk. Governments are translating national climate commitments into sector plans, development partners attach climate conditions to funding, and companies face disclosure requirements from lenders and trading partners. Many teams tasked with this work know the goals but lack a step-by-step way to move from risk assessment and emissions measurement to funded, tracked action.
The Planning and Implementation of Climate Action, Adaptation & Carbon Accounting Training Course provides that path. It opens with the drivers and impacts of climate change and the international and national frameworks that shape local plans. Participants then learn vulnerability and risk assessment, adaptation options such as climate-smart agriculture, water management and resilient infrastructure, and methods for prioritising actions with limited budgets. A major section develops carbon accounting skills: organisational and project boundaries, data collection, emission factors, calculation, quality checks and reporting. Mitigation planning, carbon markets, climate finance and monitoring complete the cycle.
Delegates apply each stage to a case of their own, using templates and spreadsheets, so that the programme ends with a draft climate action plan rather than a set of notes.
Training Objectives
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
- Explain climate drivers, impacts and the policy frameworks that guide national and organisational action.
- Conduct climate vulnerability and risk assessments for a sector, community or facility.
- Identify and prioritise adaptation measures using cost, benefit and feasibility criteria.
- Build a greenhouse gas inventory following the GHG Protocol across Scopes 1, 2 and 3.
- Set realistic emission reduction targets and evaluate mitigation options.
- Describe how carbon markets and climate finance can support project delivery.
- Develop an implementation plan with monitoring, reporting and verification arrangements.
