Starting meaningful climate projects feels scattered, without structure, stakeholder alignment, or clear metrics, even strong ideas stall.
The situation this course is for
You're passionate about carbon neutrality and already contributing through Climate Fresk, but transitioning into a formal project or innovation management role requires more than intent. Without a proven framework, it's hard to gain traction, prioritize actions, or demonstrate impact. The gap isn't effort, it's structure. Most training is either too academic or too generic. You need a clear, actionable path to lead real initiatives confidently.
Who this is for
A driven early-career professional transitioning into project or innovation management, focused on delivering measurable progress toward carbon neutrality through structured, collaborative initiatives.
Who this is not for
This is not for consultants selling frameworks, executives seeking high-level overviews, or those not yet committed to leading decarbonization work on the ground.
What you walk away with
- Launch a decarbonization project with clear scope, stakeholders, and success metrics
- Apply systems thinking to identify high-leverage intervention points
- Build stakeholder alignment across technical and non-technical teams
- Track and communicate progress using simple, credible indicators
- Integrate lessons from logistics optimization into sustainability project design
