GHG Accounting New Guidance-WRI Scope 2 amendment to GHG Protocol Corporate Standard
This webinar outlined new GHG protocol guidance, important for practitioners involved in GHG reporting and disclosure for companies and organisations. The session summarized the new Scope 2 guidance, rationale to the approach and considerations for practitioners.
This guidance follows a four-year global collaboration by WRI that seeks to harmonize methods for how companies report greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from purchased electricity, steam, heat, and cooling (called scope 2 emissions).
It amends the existing GHG Protocol Corporate Standard, strengthening the rigor and transparency of reporting while recognizing diverse market instruments and supplier arrangements.
The new guidance will be influential and will for example be adopted by CDP (Carbon Disclosure Project).
IEMA contributed to the WRI working group and IEMA member evidence has helped to inform the new guidance.

Pledge to Net Zero - Creating the business case for fast climate action
Hosted during week 2 of COP26, this panel discussion focused on how to build a business case around taking action on climate change.
The Low Carbon Construction event hosted by the Yorkshire and Humberside regional network, looked into how building back better presents an opportunity to do things differently. In particular, it provides an opportunity to address some of the challenges presented by the decarbonisation agenda.
This webinar provided a unique first-hand briefing on this important development in the build up to COP26 and outlined progress and proposals developing through the Taskforce, along with practice informed perspectives on the potential of carbon markets both globally and for organisations.
In this webinar, we learned about the outcomes of this review, considerations identified across carbon offset and ‘compensation’ solutions, and implications of the findings for those developing their carbon offsetting programmes. The webinar focused on the context of the Environment Agency.
Now that it's been almost two years since the flurry of climate emergency declarations were made by multiple organisations across our region and as COP26 approaches, we took a look at the challenges and the opportunities that have been encountered by public sector organisations in leading climate emergency response at local level.
In this webinar, Thomas Hale from University of Oxford outlined the Oxford Principles for Net Zero Aligned Carbon Offsetting.
Our Midlands Race to Zero webinar featured speakers discussing the topic of net zero and answer questions about this very current and challenging agenda.
The second day of online delivery of Scotland’s EIA Conference saw three experienced presenters discuss their views on EIA’s progress in different aspects of climate change and nature enhancement goals.
