About ghgLIVE

ghgLIVE is a series of workshops, training classes and job fairs related to the emerging, regulated low carbon economy.  The event series will kick off in North America in 2010.

The conference series will consist of 1, 2 and 3 day LIVE workshops, providing attendees with in-depth education and practical knowledge via small class room settings and taught by leading experts. The setting also provides "face to face" meeting and networking opportunities with fellow GHG professionals through classes, class room exercises, GHG membership meet-ups and job fairs.

The training and content of the courses is provided by the Greenhouse Gas Management Institute (ghgmi) which is a nonprofit organization that trains professionals charged with measuring, accounting, auditing and managing GHG emissions. The Institute's membership program connects the largest global community of greenhouse gas and climate change experts in the world and is developing courses in multiple languages.

The workshops are organized by Koelnmesse Inc. and respond to the emerging need to measure and account GHG emissions globally. The goal of Koelnmesse is to offer ghgLIVE workshops in dozens of countries along with the current online curriculum by GHGMI, which is already accessible from anywhere in the world.

A “boring” look at the California carbon market
5/10/2013 2:43:56 PM GHG and Carbon Accounting, Auditing, Management & Training | Greenhouse Gas Management Institute
Last month, carbon market practitioners and observers gathered in San Francisco for the annual Navigating the American Carbon World (NACW) conference.

Ethics for carbon managers
3/28/2013 8:00:55 PM GHG and Carbon Accounting, Auditing, Management & Training | Greenhouse Gas Management Institute
There is a small but growing literature that considers the challenge of climate change through the ethicist’s lens. So-called “climate ethics” addresses the ethical imperative for action on climate change. (See this short interview for a good introduction to the flavor of the discourse.) This discussion is important, but while the broad issue of climate [...]
Is the way you think about emissions from purchased electricity wrong?
2/26/2013 9:01:30 AM GHG and Carbon Accounting, Auditing, Management & Training | Greenhouse Gas Management Institute
Electrons flowing down a wire. How many times have you heard this description in discussions on how electric power grids functions? Our greenhouse gas (GHG) accounting framework for indirect emissions from purchased electricity (i.e., Scope 2) is built around this mental model — the idea that electrons in the electric grid are analogous to water [...]
Is climate literacy an effective approach to root out climate change denial?
1/15/2013 11:42:25 AM GHG and Carbon Accounting, Auditing, Management & Training | Greenhouse Gas Management Institute
One of the more frustrating issues I deal with as an educator is the focus by many governments, NGOs, foundations, and much of the scientific community on “climate literacy” as a strategy for shifting the climate change policy debate. Climate literacy is the label given by organizations, such as the U.S. National Science Foundation, to [...]
