In an era where the clarion call for climate action rings louder each day, understanding and managing greenhouse gas emissions has become crucial for organizations worldwide. This article delves into the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, the premier framework for emissions accounting and reporting. We explore its role in guiding corporations, cities, and governments through the complexities of carbon footprints, detailing the methodologies for categorizing and mitigating emissions across all scopes of operation. While we won’t extensively cover Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions—thoroughly discussed in our previous work—the focus here is on the Protocol’s comprehensive standards that drive global efforts towards a low-carbon economy, including the nuanced approaches required by product life cycles, the built environment, and intricate corporate value chains.
