Cutting Carbon Part 2 - An Introduction to Carbon Accounting
Event description
Ever wondered how a carbon footprint is calculated? This workshop (running as part of the National Sustainable Living Festival 2022) will provide an introduction to carbon accounting – discussing the principles & methodologies, the different scopes of GHG emissions as well as the data & process required to undertake a carbon inventory.
The session will follow the guidance from the GHG Protocol and will involve getting participants to calculate some simple equations to put learnings into practice (so using a calculator is recommended).
This is part two of two workshops titled ‘Counting Carbon’. Our first session covers an introduction to taking climate action as a business, discussing current climate projections and key contributors to a carbon footprint, including the process involved with achieving carbon neutrality or net zero emissions. It will be held on Tues, Feb 15 from 12-1pm. You can book tickets here.
Learning outcomes:
Ultimately, you will leave this session with a foundational understanding of the process involved in undertaking a carbon inventory for an organisation. So if you’re curious to learn about the process behind the footprint, then this workshop is for you!
