Participants will:

  • Understand the origins, development and potentialities of the Epiconomy
  • Recognize the international reporting, auditing and certification standards for ESG practices, emission reductions and carbon credit generation
  • Review and assess the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, the IPCC reports and IRENA/GRO projections
  • Become familiar with carbon emission calculations and tools
  • Know the differences between different types of carbon credits, their qualities, vintages, prices, origins, etc.
