Principally attributable to the escalation in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is the critical global concern of climate change. Significantly, since 2012, there has been a rise in these emissions, which consist of 9% methane, 6% N2O, 3% other fluorinated gases, and 82% CO2. Countries with high greenhouse gas emissions have implemented energy efficiency measures in an effort to combat this.

However, ongoing endeavors to mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions via legal and technical means are required to offset the adverse impacts of austerity and climate change. Additionally, governments should harmonize regulations, standards, and instruments in order to safeguard the environment from private interference and public nuisances. The construction sector has been a major contributor to the increase in greenhouse gas emissions.

The primary aim of the Certified Carbon Auditor—CCA Overview training program is to provide participants with the essential knowledge, principles, guidance, and resources required to proficiently carry out and oversee carbon audits.

The emission of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases from transportation, power generation, and other industrial and commercial activities exacerbates global environmental impacts.

Immediate implementation of carbon-reduction strategies by corporations is required to combat environmental issues. Conducting a carbon audit is critical to identifying the sources of carbon emissions and quantifying their environmental impact. Energy consumption has a significant influence on carbon emissions, making it advantageous to reduce carbon footprints by implementing energy-conservation practices.

This program is well-suited for energy professionals who are interested in supporting their organization in harnessing the supplementary advantages of greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction. These advantages include risk mitigation, improved branding, increased competitiveness, enhanced productivity and operations, increased shareholder value, and reduced costs.

Krishnaji Pawar, an accomplished sustainability specialist with expertise in smart city development, sustainable design strategy development, environmental impact assessment, green building certification (LEED, GSAS, etc.), energy usage modeling, greenhouse gas accounting, and emissions management, developed the Certified Carbon Auditor (CCA) Overview training.
