World emissions protocol on way

25th February 2008

AN INTERNATIONAL protocol for carbon auditors is to be developed this year, with climate change experts saying there is an urgent need to adopt a uniform approach to the “hotchpotch” of methods in becoming carbon neutral, a recent article reports.

Only months after releasing its Voluntary Carbon Standard for carbon offsets, The Climate Group has revealed that it will soon begin work on a guide for auditors to follow when calculating the carbon footprint of business and households.

Rupert Posner, Australian director of The Climate Group, said the process of measuring carbon emitted by a business or household needed to be consistent.
