CARBON MEASURES AND INTERNATIONAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE LAUNCH TECHNICAL EXPERT PANEL ON CARBON ACCOUNTING

NEW YORK & PARIS, Oct 30 (Bernama) -- Carbon Measures and the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) today announced the formation of an independent expert panel that will work to develop the guidelines and implementation steps to establish a global carbon emissions accounting system based on financial accounting principles.

The Technical Expert Panel on Carbon Accounting will be comprised of experts from academia, financial accounting, industry and civil society, representing multiple perspectives and geographies. Together, they will define the principles, scope, and applications of a carbon emissions accounting system modeled on financial accounting principles. Such a system would provide accurate, transparent, verifiable, and timely company- and product-level data, ensuring every tonne of carbon emissions is counted only once and attributed correctly at each step of the value chain.
