  • The Greenhouse Gas Protocol is undergoing a major review that could significantly impact how companies measure and disclose emissions. Proposed revisions cover Scope 2 and Scope 3, market-based mechanisms, and new framework concepts, alongside accelerating regulatory requirements such as California’s climate disclosure rules. This 3-hour technical workshop helps GHG reporting practitioners navigate these changes through a structured overview of the revision process, timeline, and key areas of complexity. Participants then join rotating breakout sessions on Scope 2 accounting, Scope 3 supply chain reporting, clean fuels, and carbon removals, culminating in an expert-led synthesis and practical guidance for corporate reporters across sectors.
