Environmental Sustainability and Global Change
The Environmental Sustainability and Global Change course explores how human activity affects the global environment. Offered by the American Institute of Safety Professionals, it covers climate change, resource conservation, environmental and OSHA laws, and sustainable development for lasting global balance.
What is the Environmental Sustainability and Global Change?
The Environmental Sustainability and Global Change course from the American Institute of Safety Professionals provides safety and environmental professionals with the sustainability competency increasingly required in HSE roles. Climate change is creating new occupational safety challenges (extreme heat, wildfire smoke, severe weather, changing disease patterns), organisations are setting carbon reduction targets that affect operations, ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) reporting is becoming mandatory in many jurisdictions, and HSE professionals are increasingly expected to integrate sustainability into their management systems.
The curriculum covers sustainability principles (environmental, social, economic pillars), climate change impacts on occupational safety (heat stress intensification, wildfire smoke exposure, severe weather frequency, vector-borne disease range expansion), carbon management awareness (Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, carbon footprinting, reduction strategies), circular economy principles (reduce, reuse, recycle, redesign), ESG reporting frameworks (GRI, SASB, and TCFD awareness), green building and sustainable construction (LEED awareness and sustainable practices), sustainable procurement, waste reduction and resource efficiency, and the integration of sustainability objectives into HSE management systems.
All training is delivered 100 percent online through leading delivery platforms and the American Institute of Safety Professionals Learning Management System (LMS). On successful completion, you receive an American Institute of Safety Professionals certificate, a professional wallet card, and an official transcript, all employer-verifiable at amiosp.com/student-verifications.
