What is this course about

Climate change is no longer a marginal issue. The media have carried many articles and debates about the science behind climate change. These have helped to inform policy discussions and educate the general public. The Prime Minister has called climate change the greatest environmental challenge and the government has made climate change a priority during its presidencies of the G8 and the European Union during 2005.

This training course provides those attending with a thorough inside of the predicted changes in UK climate and the potential consequences this can may have on businesses and society. In addition methods to determine the effects that changes in our climate will have on companies, as well as programmes to reduce greenhouse gas emissions will be presented.
