FdSc Carbon Management
Approved by: Plymouth University
UCAS code: DJ47
Institution Code: C78
Summary
Policy-makers across the world now recognise the urgent need to take measures to mitigate and adapt to climate change. This is shown by the high profile summits taking place right now as governments seek a political solution that will enable global carbon emissions to be cut by around 80% by the middle of this century. As such, there are now pressing ethical, monetary and legal imperatives for public and private sector organisations to manage their carbon budget. This course is designed to provide individuals with the knowledge and practical skills to manage these pressures and drive this agenda forward.

What's next?
Carbon management is a rapidly growing sector. After this course you may seek employment in a range of public, private and voluntary sector organisations for which carbon management is of a growing concern. While many large scale organisations are now required by law to manage their emissions, many smaller organisations are also responding to social and economic pressures to manage their carbon footprints. As such, Â carbon management is becoming relevant to those involved in financial, procurement and waste management decisions as well as those who manage energy budgets. If you complete the course successfully you will also have the option to progress to Stage 3 of the BSc (Hons) Environmental Resource Management run by Cornwall College.
