The considerable shortage of competence and competent people has become one of the major challenges for the carbon market and its players. A strategic response to the competence challenge is necessary to prevent the industry from undermining itself and lose credibility with regulators and investors. It is also vital in order to be able to capitalise on growth opportunities.
Purpose
The road map for addressing the challenge posed by climate change requires an immense application of technology, capital and competence in order to succeed. Companies and institutions aiming to make a difference and to position themselves in the carbon market are struggling to find, develop and retain the competence and knowledge they need to implement their strategies. DNV sees the competence challenge as a key barrier in the effort to limit climate change and believes this should be addressed on a strategic level by key players in the industry. To respond to the competence challenge, DNV is launching the idea of a Climate Change Academy and Network.
Benefits
The DNV Climate Change Academy and Network is a unique and exclusive concept created to build knowledge and competence for leading players in the carbon market. By bringing together key stakeholders, we can build and share knowledge and identify common challenges and opportunities. Together we will create competencies, insights and relationships that enable the development of practical and shared solutions and considered responses to the carbon challenges.
Three competence levels
The DNV Climate Change Academy and Network will focus on three different types of competence levels:
Academy – to build key carbon competence.
Network – to create a professional network that builds and shares knowledge on key strategic and operational issues in the carbon market value chain.
Roundtable – to form an exclusive carbon network with cutting edge insight to enable business strategies and support growth.
