Guide for Designing Mandatory GHG Reporting Programs
The new publication, Guide for Designing Mandatory GHG Reporting Programs, prepared by the World Resources Institute (WRI) in collaboration with the Partnership for Market Readiness, was released this week. The report provides best practices and step-by-step guidance for establishing such GHG reporting programs. It is based on the experiences of 13 regional, national and subnational GHG reporting programs – existing as well as under development – representing over 35 countries. Mandatory GHG reporting programs collect valuable emissions data on a recurring basis generally from facilities and/or companies whose annual emissions exceed a certain amount or who consume large amounts of energy. Policymakers and government officials can potentially benefit from this guidance by utilizing the readily available insights captured here to develop reporting programs aligned with their domestic priorities.
You can find more information about mandatory GHG programs and the report in our blog post (see links).
Please share this report with your network and partners to enable accurate emissions data collection that can inform the development of strong climate policies.
