As of August 13, 2024 the Built on GHG Protocol review service is officially closed, and we will no longer be accepting applications.  This is necessary to better align our supporting services to the needs of the users of GHG Protocol standards and guidance. A new suite of services is expected in 2025 that will professionalize and mature our services to better serve the needs of our users.  Learn more: https://bit.ly/3yCtw9w

One of the key topics that will be addressed in GHG Protocol's upcoming Land Sector and Removals standard and guidance will be separate accounting and reporting of CO2 removals from GHG emissions. Prepare for the publication by reading World Resources Institute's technical perspective on separate climate targets to understand how emissions reductions and removals can be be balanced to ensure carbon removal doesn't detract from emissions reductions.
