Introduction

---

This one-day training is designed to provide participants with a practical understanding of greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory accounting, with emphasis on the step-by-step preparation of an organizational GHG inventory. The training will introduce the key accounting concepts, principles, and methodological requirements used for quantifying and reporting GHG emissions, with primary reference to the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard and alignment, where relevant, with ISO 14064-1 principles.

The program will focus on the practical aspects of inventory preparation, including defining organizational and operational boundaries, identifying emission sources, classifying Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions, selecting and validating activity data, applying emission factors, performing calculations, and preparing inventory summaries. The training will also cover common challenges such as data gaps, estimation methods, recalculation triggers, uncertainty, exclusions, documentation, and internal quality controls.
