Course description

This course provides an advanced level of instruction and analysis on carbon and energy management principles and practices. Carbon and energy management is concerned with how society can best respond to climate change. A competent response to climate change requires a sound understanding of climate science and what the impacts of climate change are likely to be. A competent response to climate change also requires an understanding of how to manage different sources of carbon emissions, including the advantages and disadvantages of different power supply technologies and the management of carbon stocks in forests, soils and agriculture. We also need to know how to evaluate and compare the merits of different climate change response strategies and how Governments can promote effective responses through sound climate and energy policy. The course also includes instruction on a number of important carbon and energy management practices, such as carbon foot-printing, abatement and offset project design and appraisal, energy use auditing, alternative energy pathway design and appraisal, and emissions trading.
