| Syllabus: | The world is trying to reduce carbon emissions in the economy by 80% before 2050. How do businesses, households, schools, government departments, even universities develop the carbon auditing and carbon analysis skills to participate in this process? What are the emerging legal requirements to do this? How will the Copenhagen Convention be attempting to make this a global treaty? How will a carbon trading scheme help to manage this transition? Will it be possible to apply these same auditing and analytical skills to urban design and development projects? Could carbon credits be generated in this process? What are the technological and lifestyle options to decarbonise our settlements and regions? This course will lead participants through the theory and the process of establishing effective regional, city, neighbourhood and household programs designed to improve sustainability and decarbonise settlements. |
