In 2010, Xiamen University and GHG Management Institute initialised to create an international certificate programme of organisation carbon accounting. We accepted the invitation to design the curriculum of the core part – carbon measurement. In 2012, Mr Nigel Zhang delivered this course at Xiamen University for the first time. The National Development and Reform Commission and the National Standardisation Committee highly recognise and praise this programme and its curriculums.
