Residential Training Programme on: Carbon Accounting, MRV and Trading

As countries intensify climate commitments, industrial sectors face increasing pressure to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. India recently launched its Carbon Credit Trading Scheme (CCTS), establishing the nation's first legally binding GHG emission intensity targets for nine industrial sectors to meet its 2030 Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) goals, with plans to expand to additional sectors. Alongside CCTS, frameworks like Business Responsibility and Sustainability Reporting (BRSR) and the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) now mandate emission accounting and reporting, moving beyond voluntary disclosures. This evolving landscape demands rigorous carbon accounting, comprehensive auditing, and updated knowledge of trading mechanisms for compliance and carbon footprint management.

Climate change has transformed from a distant concern into an immediate business reality. GHG emission measurement, management, and reduction are transitioning from voluntary initiatives to legal obligations and trade requirements. India's CCTS marks a pivotal shift, establishing enforceable limits that link industrial performance to national and global climate targets. Global regulations like CBAM are reshaping carbon pricing for exporters, imposing penalties on carbon-intensive products from countries lacking carbon pricing mechanisms. ESG frameworks such as BRSR, TCFD, and CDP compel companies to report emissions with unprecedented transparency as financial institutions, investors, and supply chain partners scrutinize this data closely.

Recognizing urgent capacity-building needs from this rapidly evolving regulatory environment, the Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) has developed an intensive three-and-a-half day training program on Carbon Accounting, Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MRV), Trading & Decarbonisation. Participants will gain comprehensive knowledge spanning GHG inventory methods across all three scopes, robust MRV systems, carbon verification processes, compliance and voluntary carbon markets, and decarbonisation strategies including technological, financial, and policy solutions. The program offers hands-on activities, expert interaction, networking opportunities, and a Certificate of Participation upon completion.
