"Our mission is to train and develop a community of experts with the highest standards of professional practice in measuring, accounting, and managing greenhouse gas emissions; meeting the needs of governments, corporations, and organizations large and small."

We are training tomorrow’s experts how to manage and credibly account for their GHG emissions. This involves training individuals in the basics of GHG management and accounting, as well as training and accrediting professionals who meet the highest standards of expertise and ethical conduct.

Fully addressing climate change will require significant changes in our society. There are many ways to create organizational change. The GHG Management Institute’s contribution is through the professionalization of the field of GHG management and accounting. Professionalization occurs when an entire class of people make GHG management and accounting part of their professional identify. We believe this professionalization will be a powerful force to help us combat climate change.

We also believe that it is vital that the population of professionals with the expertise to address GHG emissions is globally widespread. Climate change is a global problem that requires a global solution. We offer financial assistance to other non-profits world wide, and to public agencies, and small and medium-sized enterprises in developing countries. We welcome grants and contributions to further this mission and to sponsor scholarships. We are also collaborating with other organizations in various regions of the world to provide training in other languages and in ways that address local conditions.

The Institute offers courses primarily online through e-learning. It can also blend online learning with face-to-face workshops for larger groups with specific needs. E-learning allows learners a higher quality training experience, access the world’s top experts as instructors, the flexibility to undergo training on your own time, and without the cost, trouble, and GHG emissions associated with traveling to workshops.
