Human-induced climate change is one of the imminent threats to
humankind in recent times. Climate change, exacerbated by the
greenhouse gas (GHG) in the atmosphere has consequential effects on
the social and environmental outcome of human health, clean air,
sufficient food, safe drinking water and secure shelter. In extreme
circumstances it has resulted in the loss of human life, damage to
property and displacement. As record numbers of hurricanes,
wildfires and floods have occurred and millions of people have been
forcibly displaced by weather-related events and extreme
temperatures since 2008, this volume addresses vital issues
pertinent to environmental accounting and management. Green House
Gas Emissions Reporting and Management in Global Top Emitting
Countries and Companies increases our understanding of GHG
emissions and documents evidence for policy formulation aimed at
reducing the accumulation of such emissions. The contributors
consider a range of issues from across the globe: the nature and
quantum of GHG emissions research published in top journals; the
extent of GHG disclosures in China; impact of corporate governance
mechanisms on GHG disclosures in US; board interlocks effect on GHG
performance in India; the Paris Climate Agreement affect on climate
disclosures in South Africa; and social factors influence in
determining GHG emissions in the top 100 emitting countries. The
Advances in Environmental Accounting & Management series aims
to advance knowledge of the governance and management of corporate
environmental impacts and the accounting involved.
