The Carbon management masterclass provides comprehensive insight on important components of a company’s carbon strategy, as well as tools and procedures on how to reduce the company’s environmental footprint.
The DNV Academy Climate Change core competence building concept is the masterclass, developed in close collaboration with our partners and customers. The masterclass consists of a series of modules that allows for a professional qualification in key areas within carbon markets, renewable energy and other climate change related fields.
The courses are designed to develop the participants to gain a cutting edge, in-depth and practical qualification across key commercial, regulatory and technological dimensions.
What will you learn?
Our Carbon management programme is a 12-day course consisting of five modules delivered over a period of five months. The programme provides the participants with a comprehensive understanding of carbon management, and the tools to implement it.
Module one and five can be adapted according to the skill level and specialisation of the participants.
