Description
This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to identify climate change as a factor in land management. It incorporates knowledge of climate, climate change and the impacts of a range of land management practices on the production of greenhouse gases. The unit applies to individuals who participate in land management activities, who require knowledge and skills to make decisions around activities that reduce greenhouse gas emissions. No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
