The 28th UN Climate Change Conference (COP28) was held November 30-December 13, 2023, in Dubai, UAE. Once again, it was no stranger to controversy and criticism. What is critical to your business is a summary of the key take-aways from the conference that will affect companies around the world and their required climate actions and strategies. We will break down your most relevant options for professional greenhouse gas (GHG) training and services needed moving forward into 2024 and beyond—whether you are large and publicly traded, or small and privately held.

While too slow for most activists and NGOs, the agreed upon language that over 200 nations have signed and resulting commitments in policy have never been stronger. All organizations are coming under increasing pressure to act on climate change, from internal leadership and employees to external stakeholders such as investors, policy makers, regulators, customers, and consumers. This presents many challenges, depending on your internal competencies and understanding of external requirements.

If you’re at an early stage in your climate action journey—fear not. There is still time to establish a firm understanding of climate science and GHG accounting related to your organization, and then take the next steps. It’s important to grasp existing reporting and verification frameworks and standards. Then, as you continue, it becomes increasingly relevant to learn about performance requirements and setting reduction targets to which your business’ stakeholders will respond positively. And finally, you may need competencies for achieving Net Zero performance in alignment with Science Based Targets.
