What is the session about?

As the recent IPCC report demonstrates, there has never been a more urgent need to address human impacts on climate change. Businesses are one of the major contributors to carbon emissions and reduction has to occur to avoid the worst effects.

This Introduction to Climate Change and Carbon Interactive Webinar, will develop your knowledge and skills so that you can support your organisation to assess and reduce your carbon emissions, and demonstrate this to your clients.

The session is aimed at small and medium enterprises across Scotland and the wider UK. Find out how you can use the resources and collaboration opportunities provided by the Scottish Business Climate Collaboration to help you cut carbon and benefit from demonstrating the carbon action you are taking to customers and clients. 

What will I achieve?

During this session you will:

• Be given an overview of climate change – what it is, the link to carbon and other gases, the effects that this leads to and the impact on the built environment
• Understand how you can measure carbon impact and identify actions to reduce it
• Learn why and how you should report carbon impact and how to work towards net zero carbon emissions 
• Find out how your free membership of the Scottish Business Climate Collaboration can help you drive change within your enterprise/business and with your customers and clients.

This is a beginner-level webinar and appropriate for those at the start of their journey in developing an approach to understanding and reducing carbon emissions for their organisation.
