Online sustainability courses
The Planetary Accounting network offers a range of online courses on climate change, environmental limits, Planetary Boundaries, and Planetary Accounting. Our sustainability courses range from entry-level/foundational modules through to an intensive 80 hour/6-month practical course. These courses are available to our members at a discount (*see Membership Benefits Table) or can be purchased by non-members at the rates listed under each Level. All proceeds from these courses contribute to our purpose - to help people, organisations, and governments to operate within the Planetary Boundaries.
