Planetary accounting practitioner course
We are excited to announce an opportunity for ten people to join our first cohort of sustainability professionals to become Planetary Accounting Practitioners!
What is a Planetary Accounting Practitioner?
A Planetary Accounting Practitioner is a sustainability professional who can offer Planetary Accounting services to their clients.
How is this different to our Planetary Accounting Champion course?
Our Level 1 Planetary Accounting Champion course is our entry level course designed for anyone interested in learning the basics of the science on climate change, Planetary Accounting, Planetary Boundaries, and other key frameworks. In contrast, our Planetary Accounting Practitioner course is designed for those who already work in sustainability and are looking to add Planetary Accounting to their sustainability tool kit.
What’s involved?
The course will take place online over 6 months. The course comprises 1-2 hours of facilitated online learning plus 2-3 hours study in your own time each week. We take a hands-on approach to learning, so come ready to get stuck into some practical activities and apply Planetary Accounting to your current organisation, projects, or other challenges. The course concludes with an assessment for certification as a Planetary Accounting Practitioner. The first cohort will run from the 1st of December 2024 – July 2025 (with a 4 week break from the 20th December).
Across the duration of the course, you can expect to:
- Take a deep dive into Planetary Boundaries
- Unpack the Planetary Accounting metrics
- Learn about data needs and limitations
- Analyse key frameworks and key publications
- Learn how to create the business case for sustainability
- Apply Planetary accounting in applications such as:
- Planetary facts
- Planetary accounting for regions and cities
- Nature-related financial disclosures
- Planetary science-based targets.
