Decarbonisation is crucial to addressing the climate crisis. Yet, the current level of decarbonisation is still far behind what is needed to limit warming to 1.5°C. The private sector plays a significant role in decarbonisation efforts and companies need to accelerate their transition to a low carbon economy in order to bridge the gap between the climate emergency and a resilient and sustainable economy. This module will outline key concepts and explain the distinctions in commonly used terms.
As countries and industries globally transition to low carbon economies, PwC’s ESG Masterclass Series: Carbon Management will help equip participants with vital knowledge and skills needed to embark on their decarbonisation journey, mitigating risks and capturing emerging opportunities.
The course provides a comprehensive approach to carbon management, from calculating your Scope 1, 2 and 3 carbon footprint to setting decarbonisation targets, applying decarbonisation methodologies and reporting.
Learning objectives
To transition to a low carbon economy, companies must first understand what their emissions are and how they can be managed. This process can be very technical, and requires skilled expertise, which most companies - regardless of size - need to build the capability for. This course seeks to train company representatives in carbon management so that companies are sufficiently prepared to embark on their decarbonisation journey.
This course has been designed for participants to:
- Understand key decarbonisation concepts and terms
- Learn about global and local regulations
- Take steps to establish your greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory
- Find out which decarbonisation method is best for your company
- Set targets and plans
