An Interactive 5-Day Training Course
Carbon Trading Current Schemes and Future Developments
Understand the Dynamics of Carbon Trading and its Impact on Energy Industries
Course Overview
As the world intensifies efforts to mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, this training course explores innovative strategies to scale up reductions and stimulate private sector investment in low-carbon technologies. Economic instruments such as emissions trading schemes and carbon taxes are central to achieving national climate targets in a cost-effective manner. Recognizing climate change as a pressing global issue, the training course focuses on carbon markets—market-based mechanisms designed to address environmental challenges. Participants will examine current carbon trading schemes and future developments, with particular attention to their impact on energy industries and broader socio-economic systems.
The training course also delves into the scientific and economic foundations of climate change, emphasizing the role of human activities like fossil fuel combustion, deforestation, and livestock farming in accelerating global warming. It explains how carbon trading enables countries to manage emissions through a cap-and-trade system, allowing those with lower emissions to sell allowances to higher emitters. This market-based approach has become a cornerstone of international climate policy. By understanding the dynamics of emissions trading and voluntary offsetting markets, participants will gain practical tools for environmental management and insight into the evolving landscape of global carbon regulation.

- New tools for Environmental Management applicable across industries and businesses
