should use images / graphs very high level not usefull for actual starting accounting

By Shalu Sinha on 1/19/2026

Taking the Sustainability: Carbon Accounting Essentials course was a strong fit for my professional goals. With my background in energy management and sustainability, the course helped me strengthen my practical understanding of Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions, emission factor application, and data-driven carbon footprinting. What I found most valuable was the structured and standards-aligned approach (GHG Protocol, ISO 14064), which bridged the gap between theoretical sustainability concepts and real-world reporting requirements such as BRSR and corporate ESG disclosures. The course complemented my prior experience in energy audits and power-sector sustainability by adding a clear carbon accounting lens. Overall, it was a good match for me, as it enhanced my analytical capability and directly supports my career progression in ESG, carbon management, and sustainability consulting.

Structured approach to detailing the elements involved in carbon accounting

By Mfon Essien on 10/10/2024

Thank you for this course. Very insightful high-level overview. It could serve as a precursor to point learners to more specific carbon accounting courses. Maybe because I have been studying climate change for a bit. However, some topics or concepts I felt were common knowledge or overemphasized while others I think need more in-depth discussion which may lead to an increase in the course duration to 90 - 120 mins. E.g. Sections 1 - 4 can be shortened or even remain as it but flesh out sections 5 & 6 more. Maybe give fundamentals before delving into the direct and indirect emissions data. More information on carbon accounting boundaries may be useful too as this can be tricky. Maybe talk a bit about pitfalls and risks in scope 3 calculation like double accounting. Thank you once again.
