Several international standards guide the reporting of emissions data. The most recognized is the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol, which provides a comprehensive global standardized framework to measure and manage greenhouse gas emissions. It is widely used by businesses and governments alike. Another key standard is the ISO 14064, which offers specifications for quantifying and reporting greenhouse gas emissions and removals. Additionally, the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) provides recommendations on climate-related financial disclosures that are useful for investors and stakeholders. These standards help ensure consistency, transparency, and accuracy in emissions data reporting. Adhering to these standards can enhance credibility and stakeholder trust. For further reading, access the GHG Protocol and ISO 14064 standards. Key Takeaway: Adhering to international standards enhances emissions reporting accuracy and credibility.
