RSCE 2026: PRE-CONFERENCE WORKSHOPS

Overview: Navigate the evolving sustainability and carbon landscape by connecting ESG, GHG accounting (Scope 1, 2, 3), ISO standards (ISO 14064, ISO 50001), and emerging climate reporting frameworks (IFRS S1/S2, NSRF, CBAM) to real-world organisational practices.

Learning Outcomes:

• Differentiate Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions and carbon footprint fundamentals.
• Understand the roles of ISO 14064-1, ISO 14064-3, and ISO 50001 in GHG quantification and energy management.
• Interpret key reporting standards and regulations, including IFRS S1/S2, Malaysia's NSRF, NETR, and EU CBAM.
• Identify actionable carbon management and ESG integration opportunities within academic or industrial contexts.
