Description
Urban Greenhouse Gas Inventory Specialist TrainingThe certificate exam is the core component of the City Climate Planner Certificate Program. The exam was written and developed by experts in GHG emissions inventory accounting and is meant to rigorously test the knowledge of exam takers. Successful completion of the exam demonstrates mastery of the GHG inventory building process and its connection to city climate planning, and also supports professional development in the field.The City Climate Planner program is a collaboration between Green Business Certification Inc., ICLEI, and the World Resources Institute.Cities around the world generate 70% of the greenhouse gases (GHG) that contribute to climate change. In the years to come, cities must take action to reduce GHG emissions and prepare for climate change. Reliable GHG emissions data is key in guiding the planning of effective city-level climate action.  This training covers how to identify the sources of greenhouse gases in a city, collect data and measure emissions. GHG emissions inventories are critical in helping a city determine the best opportunities for reducing emissions and serve as a benchmark for tracking progress over time.City Climate Planner Certificate ProgramTo help build capacity in local-level climate planning, the World Bank and global partners developed the City Climate Planner (CCP) Certificate Program, a training and professional certificate program that aims to increase the global talent base of climate planning professionals. The first certificate to be developed is focused on GHG emission inventories, as they are seen as a key building block in development of quality climate action plans. The result is a training on the latest internationally accepted standard for GHG inventories, a rigorous certificate exam that allows candidates to demonstrate mastery of the content and access to professional networks that support this work. In the future, additional content areas and certificates that address other components of climate action planning will be created.A professional credential for individuals working in city climate action can bring the following benefits:Draw individuals to the field of climate planning by establishing a professionalized career pathProvide a quality assurance mechanism and signal to potential employersEstablish a set of technically sound practices that can help enhance the overall quality of climate planningFoster communities of practice or professional associations that evolve and grow the professionLink inventory findings to broader local and national climate goals to help formulate and shift policy to benefit city scale green growthKey Takeaway You will assess your knowledge domain prior to the final Urban Greenhouse Gas Inventory Specialist - UGHG Exam.The Urban Greenhouse Gas Inventory Specialist Course was carried out over a half-day session and the aim of the course was to give the professionals the chance to update their knowledge domains based on the latest Urban Greenhouse Gas Inventory Specialist Exam Preparation Perspective .Review the various areas of the Body of Knowledge associated with Urban Greenhouse Gas Inventory Specialist Exam.Work through practical examples to demonstrate the topics and procedures covered.This training program helps to prepares attendees to take the Urban Greenhouse Gas Inventory Specialist Credentials Exam.One of the most globally respected certifications in the field of GHG and Climate Change. Gain industry and peer recognition, bring value to your organization and propel your career forward.
