This course is Green Real Estate Education’s first level of the Greening Your Government series. This session offers the certification, "Green Certified Government Professional - Green Leadership" ( GCGP-GL ) and includes an overview and introduction of green government and how the term relates to government infrastructure.
This is a 4 hour module and explores how government departments can incorporate sustainable practices into their policies and operations. Designed for understanding on all levels, we define concepts such as sustainability, green certifications and green standards and define materials and systems governmental leaders need to know about. We will include a step by step guide for a commitment to become more socially responsible.
The course includes an overview of renewable energy and resources. New technologies and energy efficiency will be discussed. Guidelines for implementing programs to offer tax incentives and resources will be made available as well. Additionally, attendees will discuss the impact green government initiatives will have on the operating budgets of local governments. Our certification series continues over the next few years for all governmental professionals as a guide in to leading local governments and communities into a more sustainable future.
