Structure of the accounting guidance


Our goal is to account for emissions of financial products used by Governments

Including:

•Government bonds

•Municipal bonds •Government loans (lending to Governments)

And provide guidance on:

•How to calculate and report on GHG emissions from relevant financial products, considering data types, data collection, calculation methods, inclusions/exclusions etc.

Current landscape: What methodology is currently being used?
