Changes are possible. The course content is updated regularly.

After completing the course, you will have a holistic overview of climate change, climate accounting and climate strategy. You will have mastered methods for preparing greenhouse gas balances and for implementing climate management and monitoring in organizations. You will also be familiar with the applicable regulators and requirements for your company, the challenges for urban planning and how to deal with AI and the public.

You will also be familiar with approaches, process models and systems to make processes even more successful.

Specialists and managers from various sectors, those responsible for environmental, energy, occupational health and safety or sustainability management, as well as future, appointed or existing climate protection officers.

Climate change, increasing scarcity of energy and raw materials and higher costs for resources are increasing the need for sustainable solutions. Companies are therefore increasingly looking for specialists in climate protection management who can develop strategies to reduce energy consumption, improve environmental footprints and implement sustainable concepts.

In addition, holistic process management takes into account corporate structures and culture as well as management principles and is therefore a decisive factor for the success of the company. Process managers are therefore in demand in large and medium-sized companies in all sectors.
