Course Introduction

Ever since the Nigerian government declared its intention to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2060, there has been a significant buzz around the concept of carbon credits. Simply put, carbon credit refers to a permit that allows the organisations or businesses to emit a predefined amount of carbon dioxide or greenhouse gases. Carbon credits can be quite beneficial. It ensures that economic activities, manufacturing, logistics, and other processes can continue as usual along with attaining the carbon-related targets. This is why the global markets for carbon credits increased by almost 164% in the previous year, and the total size of the sector is expected to breach the $100 billion mark by 2030.

Some of the most important reasons for the increased importance of the carbon credits market from a macroeconomic perspective are its potential to support climate-change goals and sustainability. Carbon credits are a way for businesses, governments, and other organisations to offset their carbon emissions by investing in renewable energy and other projects that reduce or remove greenhouse gases from the atmosphere. These credits are key component of the international effort to combat climate change and reduce global greenhouse gas emissions.

In order to increase the knowledge of participants to effectively utilize the carbon credit opportunities and ensure sustainability of development goals, it is imperative that fitting training programmes should be organised for them. IBS training sessions will take into cognizance of carbon credit pricing, shared principles for defining and verifying carbon credits and digital Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MRV) which are instrumental to carbon markets to meet climate challenge.
