Carbon accounting measures and reports greenhouse gas emissions, primarily carbon dioxide, associated with an organization’s activities. It provides a quantitative assessment of the environmental impact, helping businesses identify areas for improvement and set emission reduction targets. This webinar will focus on an overview of carbon accounting and how CDFI can implement carbon accounting into their organization and develop effective carbon management plans by understanding greenhouse gas emissions, employing carbon accounting standards like the GHG Protocol, and automating processes.
About the CAMEO’s Climate Resiliency Cohort
With $27 billion from the Federal government going to states for the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, California’s small business ecosystem needs infrastructure and knowledge to use these funds to educate and provide access to capital to small businesses, especially those in disadvantaged communities, to participate in climate resiliency efforts.
The Climate Resiliency cohort is designed to build capacity for climate resiliency in the mission-driven small business ecosystem and close the gap between the small business ecosystem and climate resiliency infrastructure.
CAMEO’s Climate Resiliency Cohort is divided into two sections: Green Lending for CDFIs and Going Green: Tools for TA. All organizations are welcome to attend all sessions. This curriculum is designed to help your organizations create, strengthen, and implement products, services, and tools for the small businesses you service.
