Course details
Climate change affects us all, and it’s necessary for tech leaders to create sustainability plans and recognize how their organization contributes to Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions creation, the main cause of climate change. Technology has a vital role to play in the delivery of climate change, both in the creation and removal of GHG emissions, and in this course, Dr. Jacqui Taylor teaches you how to understand, communicate, and deliver a sustainability action report for your organization. Jacqui focuses on what sustainability means for an organization and shows you how to produce and output an emission reduction plan. She explains how to determine the tech stack that’s right for your organization–one that evolves as necessary. Jacqui also offers a brief history of sustainability efforts, details the Kyoto Protocol, and explains Scope 4 emissions.
