ALL LEARNINGS. NO CARBON FOOTPRINT.

Educational Institution Carbon Management Programme

It is a national-level non-profit environmental programme for Educational Institutions. This program is designed to facilitate a transformative journey towards Carbon Neutrality and Net Zero that align with national climate objectives. It offers a unique framework that incorporates internationally recognised methodologies for effective carbon management with measurable goals.

The is the only institutionally-endorsed, national carbon management program which also includes a certification structure for educational institutions. It independently assesses and recognises the efforts of educational institution to manage and reduce their carbon emissions through 4 levels of certification.

Level 1 - Green campus, Level 2 - Carbon Neutral (Scope 1), Level 3 - Carbon Neutral (Scope 1 & 2), & Level 4 - Net Zero.

This structured approach recognises that Educational Institutions are at different stages in their journey towards comprehensive carbon management.

Transformative journey towards sustainability and impact.

Programme's Governing Structure

Educational Institution Carbon management Programme

CORE COMMITTEE

This Programme is governed by the Core Committee and has the overall responsibility for Educational Institution Carbon Management Accreditation Programme and manages it in close cooperation with the other Wings of the Programme.

ADMINISTRATOR

National Carbon Management Association is the independent administrator, who manages the Educational Institution Carbon Management Accreditation application process, including guiding and supporting Educational Institutions through each level of the accreditation. They develop and update the guidance documents and oversee the appointment and training of third-party Carbon Auditors.

ADVISORY BOARD

An independent Advisory Board determines policy direction, oversees the programme's development and encourages external recognition. The Advisory Board is comprised of institutional representatives from the fields of government departments and other organisations. (A Nodal Officer will be appointed)

CARBON AUDITOR

Independent third party carbon auditor appointed by Administrator,

Educational Institutions must have their carbon footprints independently verified by listed third party Carbon Auditor.

Carbon Management Services

Empowering institutions towards carbon neutrality and net zero through structured frameworks and methodologies.

Carbon Footprint Calculation / Carbon Audit Report

Evaluate current carbon emissions and establish a baseline for future reductions.

Carbon footprints will be independently calculated and verified by one of the Carbon Auditors approved by the programme’s committee.

Certificate of Achivement

The is the only institutionally-endorsed, national carbon management program which also includes a certification structure for educational institutions. It independently assesses and recognises the efforts of educational institution to manage and reduce their carbon emissions through 4 levels of certification.

This structured approach recognises that Educational Institutions are at different stages in their journey towards comprehensive carbon management.

We will set strategies & goals to reduce the footprint you defined and put a customised Emission Management Plan which includes SBTi

• Near-term science-based targets are defined by targets for the next three to five years, when decarbonisation reaches 20% as compared to a baseline year.

• Mid-term science-based targets are defined by targets till 2035 when decarbonisation reaches over 40-50% as compared to baseline emissions.

• Long-term science-based targets are achieved when decarbonisation reaches over 90% as compared to baseline emissions, to achieve Net Zero by 2050, with residual targets addressed with neutralisation.

Carbon Reduction Plan / Decarbonisation Plan

The programme's process includes

To join one of the 4 levels of the programme, Educational Institution must have their carbon footprints independently verified by one of the Carbon Auditors approved by the programme’s committee. Evidence of this must be provided to the administrator together with all claims regarding carbon management processes which must also be independently verified.

Once all documentation supplied by the Educational Institution is in order, the programme administrator issues a confirmation.

After the administrator’s confirmation, Core Committee will recognise and issue the Final Certificate which define the level of achievement.
