Course Details
If you operate a waste site, it’s important that you consider whether a changing climate could affect your operations, including how it might affect your ability to comply with your permit.
If your permit was issued:
-
on or after 1 April 2023, you need to integrate climate change adaptation planning into your management system
-
before April 2023, whilst your management system should already consider climate impacts, you need to complete a climate change adaptation risk assessment by 1 April 2024
To get the most out of this course, we recommend completing the following CIWM micro-learning course online in advance:
•
Introduction to Climate Change (15-30 mins)
What will I learn on the course?
Climate change: understand what climate change is and how it can impact your business.
Risk identification and mitigation: learn how to identify, plan for, and adapt to risks posed by climate change to your site and develop the practical skills you need to complete the risk assessment process required by the Environment Agency.
Who is it for?
This course is for anyone with an interest in learning more about climate change and its potential impact on permitted sites, facilities, and the environment.
This course is particularly relevant if you are a Technically Competent Manager, as you need to consider whether a changing climate could affect your operations, including how it might affect your ability to comply with your permit.
What are the entry requirements for this course?
You do not require any prior knowledge of waste and resource management to enrol in this course.
How will I benefit from taking the course?
Once you have completed this training, you will understand the Circular Economy, the five circular business models and the barriers and benefits of how waste management can deliver this transition.
