Creating a Carbon Footprint Strategy GLLE 3030
A rst step in developing
a carbon plan for your organization is the calculation of your “carbon footprint”, the amount of greenhouse gases (GHG) emitted annually from operational activities. Learn to calculate GHG emissions rsthand, working through issues of emission scopes and conversion factors. Discover tools and resources for conducting a proper carbon footprint analysis to create a GHG mitigation plan to reduce emissions or become carbon neutral.
Facilitator: Small Feet. See bio on page 50.

buying a certi ed emissions reduction project and provides information for buyers to identify quality projects and partners to avoid risk. Learn how to recognize a potential project, develop the necessary data, nd nancing, and meet the requirements for project veri cation and validation as you gain an understanding of the information and personnel required to develop or evaluate a successful project.

Financing Sustainability Programs and Projects GLLE3034
Many ideas are never put into action because proponents are unable to nance the project. Challenges in nancing a sustainability project include the inability of proponents
to speak the language of business and nance, as well as dif culties in building a case, measuring bene ts and costs, and lacking knowledge of
different nancing options or partnerships. Explore business cases for energy ef ciency improvements, green building techniques, community sustainability projects, and more.

An Introduction to Forest Carbon
Dynamics – ONLINE GLLE3033
Burning fossil fuels and changes in land use patterns have led
to increased concentrations
of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, but almost half the greenhouse gasses produced are taken up by the ocean, land, and fresh water ecosystems. Carbon uptake in forests is becoming a priority for natural resource managers and society as a whole. Explore the science of carbon cycling in forest ecosystems and its potential for consumer products.

Public Engagement and Communication: In uencing Change for Sustainability GLLE2955
Many environmental issues are behavioural choices in uenced by the intersection of personal, social, and structural factors. It’s important to understand how and why people make choices and how different approaches and strategies
can support personal and collective changes for lower environmental impact. Explore the “people change” dimension of climate change through emerging research
on behaviour change and methods for engaging individuals in lower carbon choices, including community- based social marketing.
