Facing pressure to comply with tightening domestic and international emission regulations, demand for carbon credit and greenhouse gas inventory training programmes is booming. This in-depth course from VietESG Academy is designed to be hands-on, helping individuals and businesses fully master the ISO-standard inventory process together with an effective carbon trading strategy.
Why is the market “hunting” for courses on Greenhouse Gas Inventory & Carbon Credits?• Domestic legal pressure: Under the Government’s roadmap, Vietnam’s carbon market begins its pilot phase in 2025 and will operate officially in 2029. Many businesses on the mandatory list under Decree No. 06/2022/ND-CP are under pressure to complete their emissions reports.
• Global trade barriers: Exporters seeking to enter European or US markets must overcome strict barriers such as the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM).
• Shortage of specialist staff: Most corporate staff are still unclear about the difference between emission allowances and carbon credits, and struggle with how to collect data and calculate emissions (Scope 1, 2, 3).
