What Others Are Saying About the Introduction to Emissions Trading Workshops
"The Introduction to Emissions Trading course was very valuable. I learned, through hands-on experience, the details of trading of CO2 credits under the Kyoto Protocol. It's one thing to read about certified emission reductions, emission reduction units, Joint Implementation and Clean Development Mechanism projects, but this course made these concepts real and meaningful. I recommend the course highly. For a sound education, it sure beats listening to a paper!"
Richard H. Schulze, Chairman of the Board, Trinity Consultants, Inc.
