<p class="MsoNormal"><b style=""><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Bali, Indonesia, 3 December 2007</span></b><br><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Contact:<span style=""> </span>Mr. Gao Pronove, +1-612-284-3589, <a rel="nofollow" ymailto="mailto:info@ghginstitute.org" target="_blank" href="mailto:info@ghginstitute.org">

Management Institute<br>to Train on Emissions Disclosure Reporting</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The Carbon Disclosure Project
(CDP) has agreed to partner with the Greenhouse Gas Management Institute, a
nonprofit focused on training and education. The GHG Management Institute
offers online courses on how to measure, account and manage GHG emissions that
cause global climate change. "Its mission is to train and develop a community
of experts with the highest standards of professional practice in measuring and
managing GHG emissions," said Michael Gillenwater, dean of the Institute. "Our
philosophy is that if you cannot accurately measure GHG emissions, you cannot
manage climate change."</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style="font-size: 12pt;">In partnership with CDP, the
Institute is developing courses to better equip corporate managers to respond
to the CDP 6 questionnaire and utilize CDP data. The first CDP specific course
will start in mid-February 2008. Paul Dickinson, CEO of the Carbon Disclosure
Project, an investor-led initiative to disclose the carbon footprints of the
world's largest corporations, stated that "Quantifying greenhouse gases is the
first step for a company to truly understand and assess their carbon footprint.
It is only after this that corporations can manage their emissions and reduce
their impact." </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The Institute's focus is on
GHG emissions accounting, inventories, management, and verification. The World
Resources Institute developed the GHG Management Institute's first course on
corporate GHG emissions accounting and is working with the new Institute to
develop and instruct additional courses on emissions estimation methodologies
and building GHG reporting programs.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">"Organizations and
professionals around the world are now realizing that it is essential for them
to educate themselves on the issue of GHG management," said Gao Pronove, the
new Institute's managing director. The Institute delivers its courses through
instructor-led e-learning, thereby avoiding the emissions associated with
traveling to workshops and conferences. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">"The GHG Management Institute
will promote best practices, build confidence in the professional competencies
of GHG practitioners, and prepare individuals to join the fast-growing, $10
billion job market," according to Tom Baumann, the Institute's director of
Professional Programs.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The GHG Management Institute and
the Carbon Disclosure Project will be present at the upcoming climate change
conference in Bali, Indonesia.</span></p>
