Carbon Accounting is a vital tool in enabling organisations to
measure and report on their greenhouse gas emissions. As the need
to respond to the causes and impacts of climate change becomes
increasingly urgent, emissions calculations and inventories are a
vital first step towards mastering climatic risk. The Handbook of
Carbon Accounting offers an accessible and comprehensive
presentation of the discipline. The book examines the different
methods or instruments implemented by countries and companies -
such as carbon taxation, carbon markets and voluntary offsetting -
while revealing how these stem not simply from the aim of reducing
emissions for the lowest cost, but more as a compromise between
divergent interests and individual world views. It also explores
the historical context of the emergence of carbon accounting,
assessing its evolution since the Rio Conference in 1992 and the
signing of the Kyoto Protocol in 1997, to the latest Conference of
Parties in 2015 in Paris. The book concludes with a very practical
guide to calculate, reduce, offset and disclose your carbon
footprint. Like other management tools, carbon accounting may not
be an exact science, but its contribution has never been more
important. The Handbook of Carbon Accounting is a vital educational
resource that will help readers - including those with no prior
knowledge of the field - to understand carbon flows and stocks and
to take action. It forms part of a movement that heralds the start
of a new economic era in which the search for prosperity can live
in harmony with the environment.
