Carbon Accounting (this is not a self-paced program)

October 2 - 13, 2023

To effectively establish and implement carbon projects and tap into relevant markets, one must first understand how carbon and greenhouse gasses (GHGs) are measured and monitored. This course starts by exploring the global distribution and dynamics of forested ecosystems – where forests are and how this has changed over time. This sets the stage for examining the global carbon cycle, including the key role that forests play. The course culminates in dissecting how GHGs are tracked over space and time and how carbon budgets are determined.

The primary learning and competency outcome is an understanding of the connections between the forest sector and climate change.
