Mitigation Accounting

WRI is launching a global multi-stakeholder process to develop new GHG Protocol guidelines for quantifying GHG reductions from climate change mitigation actions and policies and tracking progress toward national and sub-national GHG reduction goals.

New voluntary, policy-neutral guidelines will increase the consistency and transparency in the way government agencies, international financial/aid institutions, businesses, and civil society organizations account for GHG reductions from mitigation actions and goals. For more information, see the background documents below.

For further questions, please contact David Rich at drich@wri.org.
