Climate change is the major existential threat to human civilisation in the present time. The international efforts at tackling this problem are multi-fold. While governments try to tackle this through policies and infrastructure and individual citizens aim for low carbon lifestyles, businesses and institutions can contribute by minimising the impact of their operations. It may even be demanded of businesses and institutions, both by the national governments as well as by conscientious investors, shareholders, and clients/consumers. Carbon accounting is a necessary tool for this. While carbon accounting tools are already available in the public domain, effective use of the tools requires a certain level of literacy around the basic principles. The course provides an opportunity to educate yourself and therefore equip yourself with a professional skill that would increasingly become critically important in the next few decades.
