The Academy

The future of climate governance is being trained now.

Two certificate tracks for the practitioners who move from analysis into the room — and the analysts who build the evidence base behind them.

The discipline

We teach the work of drafting binding climate law.

Not a lecture series — a seminar room. Every cohort leaves with a drafted instrument: a jurisdiction dossier or a binding-framework clinic output, defended live. Faculty are practitioners drawn from the negotiating process itself.

Two routes into the work of drafting binding climate frameworks.

No cohort is scheduled yet. Rather than ask you to apply for something that has not opened, the full curriculum is published below — free, and in the open. CCPA and CGDA are Green Diplomat’s own designations; they are not accredited by, or affiliated with, any external body.

When the first cohort is scheduled, the people who registered hear first. Registering commits you to nothing and costs nothing — and we will not add you to any other list.
