Details

This report provides a review of different approaches to emissions measurement and reporting and the decarbonisation outcomes they support. It draws on engagement with representatives from public sector organisations and emissions reporting experts.

The report sets out:

• the mechanisms through which emissions reporting leads to decarbonisation
• the factors influencing the effectiveness of emissions reporting in driving decarbonisation
• the challenges associated with emissions measurement and reporting for public sector organisations

It also makes recommendations to help overcome the challenges to, and increase the effectiveness of, emissions reporting in driving decarbonisation in the public sector.

The research was carried out by the Energy Saving Trust for DESNZ to support our work to deliver new emissions monitoring and reporting guidance for the public sector.
