Description
This training course is an extract from the longer course "Climate Change for Professionals" which is also available for purchase on Udemy.After we received feedback from the students asking to split that course into shorter and more manageable courses, we are happy to offer you a choice: you can either get the full course, or pick a shorter course with the topic that is more relevant to your learning objectives."Corporate Climate Reporting: Key Standards and Guidelines" is a short course designed to:raise awareness about the impact of climate change on organisations, including physical and transition risks, as well as opportunities arising from transition to a low-carbon economy;provide historical overview of the main drivers for climate reporting and the importance/benefits of climate disclosures for organisations;navigate through the complex ecosystem of sustainability and climate reporting, including multiple standards and guidelines;inform on the recent trends in climate reporting including convergence of standards and emergence of climate-related financial reporting;provide guidance on climate disclosures, tracking greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, setting GHG targets and climate risk management and governance.You don’t need any prior knowledge of this subject, just an interest in business management, strategic thinking and desire to learn about solutions to the formidable problem of climate change.  However it might be useful to have completed the course "Every Company’s Guide to Climate Action & Achieving Net Zero".Please note that the course does not provide practical exercises for calculation of GHG emissions, setting targets or identification and quantification of climate risks, but we will provide you with the links to relevant resources so that you could dive deeper into the technical content if needed.  We will also provide you with the Handout Slides with the summary of main points from the course.  I hope you will enjoy the course and I am looking forward to your feedback and reviews.Sincerely yours,Julia Mariasova
