The Association of Climate Change Officers (ACCO) is offering a series of 2-day training academies in Western Michigan to help participants build competencies to effectively integrate climate change into their decision-making and professional activities. Leveraging a combination of on-demand online training resources and in-person cohort training, this series provides participants with training that will prepare them for Certified Climate Change Professional® (CC-P®) credential exams and will satisfy the corresponding elective requirements.

Series participants will learn from experts and community leaders about the implications of climate change, and related opportunities, with a regional focus added for Michigan and the midwestern United States. Professionals across occupations in the public and private sectors, higher education and the NGO community will benefit from this training series.
