Modern carbon accounting: New topics and methodologies

Measuring carbon emissions is now a regular part of doing business, as essential and routine as collecting financial data. But unlike traditional accounting, carbon accounting is constantly evolving.

Emissions measurement methodologies require regular updates to keep up with the scientific consensus, technological improvements, and regulatory demands.

This webinar covered recent changes in carbon accounting best practices, and their relevance for companies.

The discussion included:

• Steve Davis, the chair of Watershed’s Science Advisory Board, on his pioneering method for measuring forest, land, and agriculture (FLAG) emissions; and why more companies need to start accounting for them.
• Shaena Ulissi, a Watershed climate scientist, on frequently overlooked—but critical—emissions categories, including financed emissions and the use of sold products.
