This course will provide all participants with a brief overview of carbon accounting and will highlight the developing disclosure regulations within the region as well as the increased scrutiny of greenwashing by companies worldwide. The overall objective of this course is to increase knowledge and understanding of carbon accounting for corporations, along with its benefits, risks and challenges.
