About the programme

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 programme contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals 4, 8, 9 and 13.

Project team

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.
