New on atingi: An interactive online course that makes knowledge of greenhouse gas emissions transparency in the transport sector accessible to a wide audience. The course provides an overview of climate change and transport and focuses mainly on monitoring, reporting and verification of greenhouse gas emissions from transport, including a short section on modelling emissions scenarios.

What is it about?
This course looks at the problems and causes of the greenhouse effect to which the transport sector contributes. As participants work through the modules, they will gain an overview of greenhouse gas emissions from the transport sector and the challenges of climate change for the transport sector. Participants will also look at the history and development of international climate negotiations, learn the basics of calculating transport data and become familiar with mitigation measures in transport and the development of emissions scenarios.
Enabling learning!
In this course, participants can learn flexibly at their own pace and access the course material from different devices. Each topic consists of engaging learning formats such as teaser videos, web-based training, exercises, quizzes and additional resources.
During the course, participants will learn through various didactic resources how to calculate GHG emissions and prioritise policy measures to decarbonise transport systems. They will also learn in detail the basics of MRV, international requirements and how to calculate emissions in the transport sector. You will have the knowledge to make emission projections and steer the transport sector towards a greener and more sustainable future.
For the final certificate, learners must successfully complete all four web-based trainings (learning modules) and quizzes.
Insights into the online course
An appealing design is the start of the course with the most important information at a glance.
Videos and infographics are recurring elements in WBTs to make the content more dynamic and exciting.
