The natural next step in every serious climate strategy: carbon projects.
Handling carbon emissions is on the rise and, as a sustainability professional, you need to know these basics of carbon project development.
Understanding carbon markets
Carbon markets are where climate targets meet reality. This training day gives you a clear and accessible introduction to how regulated, voluntary, and domestic markets work – and why international agreements shape the opportunities and risks you’ll face.
Carbon credits in climate strategy
Companies often commit to net zero without knowing how credits fit in. We’ll show you how different types of credits (avoidance or removal, nature-based or tech-based, temporary or permanent) can strengthen or undermine a strategy. You’ll learn how to judge what’s credible, so you can make informed decisions.
From idea to certified impact
Behind every credit is a project that had to prove its impact. We walk you through that lifecycle, from project design to monitoring and credit issuance, with methodologies and standards such as Verra and Gold Standard. Understanding this process helps you see what makes a project investable, and where common pitfalls lie.
By the end of this course, you’ll have the language, logic, and context to confidently engage with carbon markets.
