Climate Action & Sustainability Reporting
Accreditation: National University of Ireland
Place on NFQ: Level 9 (Special Purpose Award).
THE PROGRAMME
This one-year, part-time programme responds to the fact that public servants, at all levels and in all sectors, urgently require significant education and training in climate- and sustainabilityrelated matters if Ireland is to meet relevant national and international goals. Addressing both the theory and practice of climate action and sustainability, it introduces the key concepts, facts, and challenges that need to be understood by public servants as they lead Ireland’s transition to an environmentally sustainable and climate-neutral economy.
IS THIS PROGRAMME FOR YOU?
This programme will provide public servants with some of the knowledge, skills, and competencies needed to effectively contribute to climate action and sustainability efforts. Graduates will also be in a position to help their organisations comply with potentially onerous reporting requirements in the most efficient and effective ways. Addressing topics set to dominate many aspects of public life, the programme will furnish public servants with an in-depth and practical understanding of what the Irish state has set itself to do around climate and sustainability and of how sectors and organisations will report their activities in local, national, and international contexts.
