This course gives a succinct overview of what net zero means as a response to the climate crisis and how it can be delivered within organisations – it is delivered over four parts that make up this course and provides learners with a basic introduction to the concept of net zero.
- What does net zero mean?
- Why net zero?
- What can my organisation do about it?
- How should we communicate net zero in a way which avoids greenwash?
The course materials have been designed by IEMA and are updated periodically to ensure that they remain current.
