Trends in Voluntary Corporate Action on Climate Change: Discussion and Observations from EPA’s Climate Leaders Program

At a time when legislative and regulatory action on climate change is the center of attention, corporations continue to advance climate change strategies both to prepare for mandates as well as position themselves with respect to longer-term market forces and social expectations. EPA’s Climate Leaders Program includes nearly 200 large commercial and industrial companies from various economic sectors and is the largest GHG goal setting program in the U.S. EPA staff will lead a discussion covering several intersecting themes, including:

- The state of corporate voluntary action broadly in the U.S.

- Initiatives and direction of the Climate Leaders Program

- Voluntary action in relation to future legislative/regulatory scenarios

Description:
This course is a mandatory training for new Lead Verifiers within approved verification bodies. The training addresses the programmatic requirements under the Reserve and provides a briefing on the Reserve Program Manual and Reserve Verification Program Manual. This training will cover the program rules and procedures, GHG accounting guidelines, requirements to perform verification activities under the Reserve, and provide an overview of the project verification activities.

Overall, this training will cover the reporting and verification process, and provide training on how to use the Reserve software. This course will prepare verifiers to act under our program and ultimately be able to verify projects submitted under the Climate Action Reserve. Please note that in addition to this general training, Lead Verifiers must also be trained to verify under each individual project type.

This course requires active webinar participation, a completed homework assignment, and concludes with a combination multiple choice and essay test exam. Verifiers must achieve 70% or higher in their overall course grade to receive a Certificate of Completion and be deemed a Lead Verifier under the Climate Action Reserve.
