NET ZERO AND THE SCOPE 3 CHALLENGE
By definition, scope 3 emissions are outside the direct operations of an organisation, so they are difficult to quantify and even harder to influence. Reporting and addressing these emissions brings an element of risk, making it all the more important to establish rigorous and transparent procedures to do so.
This Guide will help you to understand:
​
-
The importance of carbon accounting
-
Which carbon reporting standard and frameworks to use
-
How to account for scope 3 emissions, understand the role of technology and deal with issues of data quality
-
How to use carbon offsets
-
How to move beyond scope 3 to 'avoided emissions'
Policy makers and businesses play a pivotal role in stabilising and restoring habitats and reversing biodiversity loss, not least because those habitats and species are critical to economic growth.
Emerging frameworks will see investors attach significant weight to the value of nature-based reporting and action to safeguard habitats. Meanwhile, asset owners are utilising nature-based solutions to develop resilience to climate change.
This Guide will help you:
​
-
Understand how the COP15 Kunming-Montreal Agreement will impact long-term policy and business reporting
-
Prepare for the TNFD through the acquisition of data and the application of real methodologies
-
Embed natural capital accounting as part of the Natural Capital Protocol into your decision-making capabilities
