Carbon Accounting/Evidence
Method evidence record

Carbon Accounting

Carbon accounting is a systematic process-pipeline method for identifying, quantifying, and reporting an organization's greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in CO₂-equivalent units. Codified by the WRI/WBCSD Greenhouse Gas Protocol in 2004, it is used by corporations, governments, and NGOs to measure their climate impact, set reduction targets, comply with regulatory disclosure requirements, and track progress toward net-zero commitments.
