FEE FREE Carbon Accounting workshop 13 June 2025

Join us either online or in person at the Central West Adaptive Skills Hub for an online live and interactive FEE FREE workshop designed for non-expert individuals and businesses eager to master carbon accounting. Deep dive into carbon footprints, emissions and scopes, current standards, reporting frameworks and policies – with case studies showing the practical application of the information covered. 

During the 5-hour live and interactive workshop, participants will gain strategic and operational insights essential for developing a robust carbon accounting system, including:

Learning how carbon accounting applies to public sector and business operations
