GHG Emissions Accounting and Reporting for Transport

The transport sector is a significant contributor to global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, posing substantial risks to both the environment and the economy. With the growing number of commitments to achieve net-zero carbon emissions, robust tracking and reporting of GHG emissions is crucial. The emissions reporting landscape is rapidly evolving, not just within the transport sector but across all areas of sustainability. This report aims to demystify the complex landscape of emissions calculation and reporting for transport, often characterised by a plethora of methodologies, standards, and regulations. It evaluates the current state of GHG accounting and reporting practices in the transport sector, identifies key challenges, and how to overcome those. By doing so, it provides a roadmap to improve transparency and consistency in emissions accounting and reporting, ultimately helping the industry to reduce its environmental impact and move towards practices with future generations in mind.
