Understand and apply land-based solutions for removing greenhouse gases
Discover how carbon relates to our climate, how removal strategies are measured and evaluated, and what trade-offs come with different approaches.
Whether you advise policymakers, manage land, work in environmental roles, or want to learn more about climate action, this four-week course gives you practical insight into the effectiveness and limitations of land-based GGR.
Carbon and climate: science and measurement
Examine how carbon cycles through the atmosphere and land, influencing climate change. You’ll dive into the basics of carbon accounting, and get hands-on with MRV (measuring, reporting, and validation) systems.
Understand how data and markets shape the push for net zero and beyond, and the scientific evidence behind carbon removal.
Land-based greenhouse gas removal options
Explore natural and technological land-based GGR approaches, including bioenergy crops, soil carbon, biochar, and peatland restoration.
Learn how to optimise for maximum impact and decide which GGR strategies suit different contexts, considering both environmental trade-offs and co-benefits.
Evaluating solutions for local and global benefit
Understand how to evaluate the full effects of GGR—balancing effectiveness, risks, and opportunity costs for climate, nature, and society.
You’ll see how holistic decision-making can turn climate ambition into real-world results. You’ll walk away with the skills to identify opportunities to implement or advise on GGR at both community and organisational levels.
This course is ideal for policy influencers, land managers, advisers, environmental professionals, and anyone interested in science-based climate solutions that leverage natural and managed landscapes.
