Environmental Sustainability and Global Change

The Environmental Sustainability and Global Change course offered by the American Institute of Safety Professionals provides participants a research-driven comprehension of the science, policy, and practicality of integrating tools for managing the challenges of the environment and promoting sustainability in organizations. The course focuses on the application of ecodynamics, climatology, and environmental management systems in the climate change/global change/sustainable development interface, climate change, deforestation, loss of biodiversity, and depletion of natural resources. Participants analyze sustainability practices within the framework of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), mainly: SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation), SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy), and SDG 13 (Climate Action), and the environmental stewardship of operational and corporate processes. The course presents ISO 14001:2015 Environmental Management Systems, ISO 50001:2018 Energy Management Systems, and Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), as tools for organizations to manage, control, assess, report, and mitigate environmental sustainability challenges. Participants analyze climate change, greenhouse gas emissions, and carbon accounting and climate change reports prepared in line with the standards of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). This course focuses on practical topics like assessing the lifecycle of a product, minimizing waste, efficient use of energy, incorporation of renewable energy, and construction of sustainable supply chains. These topics are all supported by the long-term benefits to organizations and society as shown by environmental research. By the end of the course, participants will be able to evaluate environmental risks, plan and implement mitigation strategies, enact and integrate organizational sustainability plans, build organizational cultures that embrace economic and ecologic balance, and ensure compliance to global environmental standards as a positive contribution to resilient and sustainable communities.
