Interested businesses can easily join the Carbon Accounting Alliance by filling out a quick form . The process is open and accessible, aiming to create a supportive community without any current costs involved. Highlights: Carbon Accounting 101: · Andrew simplifies carbon accounting, likening it to financial accounting – but with carbon instead of money! He explains the process of measuring carbon, the significance of carbon factors, and provides insights into achieving net-zero. · Andrew discusses the Alliance’s primary objectives including policy alignment, standards, technical coherence, and communications to drive positive change. · As of last month, the Carbon Accounting Alliance had measured a staggering 587,000,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent and reported 6,000,000 tonnes of reductions. Challenges and Solutions for Carbon Accounting: Andrew delves into data collection as a barrier for organisations looking to manage their carbon footprint.
