🔎 How can a standards program help tackle Scope 3 emissions? This week, we will be exploring the answer in a series of posts. Today, we explore why we need a program like Verra’s incipient Scope 3 Standards Program to help tackle companies’ value chain emissions. 🤔 Can a company just purchase carbon credits to meet Scope 3 emissions targets? ➡️ Carbon credits, while a great way of advancing climate action, are not designed for Scope 3 emissions abatement. Carbon credits represent an emissions reduction or removal which can be used to offset an emission elsewhere. Generating a carbon credit does not include any assessment of whether the reduction or removal occurs within a value chain. Also, carbon credits are limited to a single use (retirement) whereas Scope 3 emissions accounting enables co-claiming (and co-investment) due to the nested nature of emissions across companies within a value chain (see yesterday’s post on this topic). 👆 While carbon credits are not designed for Scope 3 emissions abatement, the greenhouse gas crediting programs that underpin them have developed a useful infrastructure (such as science-based, standardized, and field-tested quantification methodologies) that can form the basis for a robust and credible Scope 3 standards program.

📣 During London Climate Action Week, an important milestone was announced: a process to implement the world’s first international, verifiable standard on Net Zero! 👏 Convened by BSI, the development will ensure robust climate action and accelerate global progress towards Net Zero. With over 170 countries and thousands of experts, including the Carbon Trust’s John Kazer, involved in converting the ISO - International Organization for Standardization Net Zero guidelines into a verifiable standard, it will help organisations navigate their journey towards Net Zero with more credibility and clarity. If you’re looking for support in aligning with Net Zero, please get in touch ➡️ https://lnkd.in/e35d53sP https://lnkd.in/e2bNnp5H
