What is the session about?

By joining this session you will learn what the IPCC report demonstrates, as there has never been a more urgent need to address human impacts on climate change. The built environment is one of the major contributors to carbon emissions, and reductions are necessary to avoid the worst effects.

Joining this Introduction to Climate Change and Carbon Webinar will develop your knowledge and skills so that you can support your organisation to assess and reduce your carbon emissions, and demonstrate this to your clients.

This session forms part of our new COP29 training guide – access the guide here for more COP29 training sessions, plus hand-picked carbon and climate change e-learning and resources

What will I achieve?

During this session, you will:

• Understand how you can measure carbon impact and identify actions to reduce it
• Learn why and how you should report carbon impact and how to work towards net zero carbon emissions

What level is the session and do I need any particular skills?

This is a beginner-level webinar and appropriate for those at the start of their journey in developing an approach to understanding and reducing carbon emissions for their organisation.
