From Scopes to Action

Before 2001 there were no global standardized frameworks to measure and manage greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from private and public sector operations, value chains and mitigation actions.  The creation of the GHG Protocol then allowed companies to quantify and report their greenhouse gas emissions into categories called ‘scopes’.   In this episode of Shaping Sustainable Places, one of the world’s top experts @Pankaj Bhatia explains the surprising story of how the scope structure came about, how it works today, and what the future holds. We also look at how the concept has been put into action in a tangible way.    This episode’s guests:    Pankaj Bhatia, Director of GHG Protocol. Anders Edvardsson, Sustainability Manager, Skanska Ivan Cusini, Sustainability Specialist, Skanska
