British Council TNE Partnership
A blended micro-credential for Turkish manufacturers navigating climate law, AI-enabled carbon management, and cybersecurity.
Secure Carbon helps manufacturers make sense of climate policy, carbon accounting, markets and evidence — and turn that into decisions that travel to a board, a buyer or a verifier.
The programme has three main units (twelve sections in total): policy and strategy, AI for carbon management, and cybersecurity for carbon systems. You study at your own pace through short readings, videos, field evidence, case studies, quizzes and, in some sections, a short upload. Some cohorts continue into a three-day summer school; others complete everything fully online, including discussion and a final assessment.
Access is by invitation. Your organiser will add your email to a cohort list and tell you to register on this site with that same email. Set a password (and confirm it), then sign in.
Map Türkiye’s Climate Law, national ETS and EU CBAM, test claims carefully, and draw defensible carbon boundaries.
Judge when analytics and AI add value to carbon decisions — and when a formula, rule or human review is enough.
Treat carbon numbers as evidence: protect meters, data, registries and MRV workflows from integrity risks.
This open MOOC supports the British Council Going Global TNE partnership between Aston University, Abdullah Gül University, and Bodrum Institute.
The programme equips postgraduate students, mid-career professionals, and SME representatives with the integrated capability to design, operate, secure and audit a corporate carbon-management system compliant with Turkish climate legislation, interoperable with EU CBAM, AI-enabled, and resilient against cyber threats.
The micro-credential comprises three main units. This MOOC provides asynchronous pre-work; an intensive summer school builds on it with hands-on workshops.
The Secure Carbon Management System is co-developed by academics from Aston University, Abdullah Gül University, Bodrum Institute, and Ankara Science University, with funding from the British Council Going Global Partnerships programme.
