Net Zero and Corporate Climate Disclosures
Date: To be confirmed
Duration: 7.5 Hours
Mode Of Delivery: Face-to-Face
Tuition Fees: S$1100.00 (Before GST)
What You Will Learn
Singapore is well placed to be a carbon services hub in the global push towards net zero emissions. This course introduces you to the science, principles and fundamentals of corporate climate disclosures to give them an understanding of the perspectives and scientific motivations behind standards and analytical tools available. A deeper understanding of standards and tools will allow you to tackle emerging issues in climate disclosures in the rapidly evolving landscape of corporate net zero transition.
Through this course, participants will gain an understanding of the science, principles and fundamentals behind corporate emissions accounting and target setting for climate disclosures. Participants will also learn about corporate standards and analysis tools used for net zero transition analysis. The expected participants are those who are directly involved or interested in low-carbon transition, net zero emissions and green economy in the business and finance industries, such as climate accountants.
Who Will Benefit
Government officers, energy analysts, managers, executives, climate accountants and sustainability specialists
Entry Requirements
Bachelor degree or equivalent

Professor Ang Beng Wah
ANG Beng Wah (B.W. Ang) is an Emeritus Professor in the Department of Industrial Systems Engineering and Management (ISEM) at the National University of Singapore (NUS). He was a Professor and former Head of the ISEM Department, as well as the Executive Director of the Energy Studies Institute at NUS.
Professor Ang has made important contributions to decomposition analysis applied to energy and sustainability. The LMDI decomposition technique he proposed has been widely used by researchers, consultancy firms, national agencies and international organisations to study factors affecting energy consumption and carbon emissions, as well as to monitor economy-wide energy efficiency trends.
Professor Ang is a Co-Editor of Energy Economics, and a member of the editorial boards of Energy Policy, Energy, and Economics of Disasters and Climate Change. He received his BSc from Nanyang University and PhD in interdisciplinary energy studies from the University of Cambridge.
Asst Professor Goh Tian
Dr Goh Tian is a lecturer at the Department of Industrial Systems Engineering and Management (ISEM) at the National University of Singapore (NUS). She has more than a decade of experience in energy and climate change. Before joining ISEM, she was a research fellow at the Energy Studies Institute, NUS, where she worked on Singapore and ASEAN’s decarbonization pathways, energy efficiency and embodied emissions with government agencies. She also worked as an Associate Research Fellow at the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies (RSIS), Nanyang Technological University, where she researched on policy issues in climate change, environment and food security. Prior to that, she worked on Singapore’s greenhouse gas inventory and Energy Conservation Act at the National Environment Agency. Dr Goh received her PhD in energy systems analysis from NUS where she conducted research on sectoral and economy-wide energy efficiency and CO2 emission trends using index decomposition analysis.
