ISO and GHG Protocol announce strategic partnership

The Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG Protocol) -a joint initiative of World Resources Institute (WRI) and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD)- and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), announced a strategic partnership to harmonize their existing portfolios of greenhouse gas (GHG) standards and to co-develop new standards for GHG emissions accounting and reporting.

One of the barriers to effective climate action is the fragmentation of standards and policies. The partnership will produce a common global language for emissions accounting, which will accelerate progress towards decarbonization, meanwhile simplifying the processes for companies, increasing consistency for policymakers, and reducing measurement and reporting burdens for all users.
