GHG Protocol

GHG Protocol is a term widely used to refer to the Greenhouse Gas Protocol that was jointly developed by the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) and the World Resources Institute (WRI).

This Greenhouse Gas Protocol provides guidance documents and accounting standards to understand, quantify, and manage greenhouse gas emissions.

This protocol is not to be confused with the individual GHG protocols developed by various organisations, governments, individuals and companies to establish sources, sinks and reservoirs and conversion factors for greenhouse gas emissions for specific activities in specific regions. Some, not all, of these specific protocols can also be found as part of the GHG Protocol.
