We're also pleased that they have not rushed into incorporating forest removals into this version of the standard, recognising the 'different perspectives' on these measurements and methodologies amongst both academics and practitioners.
We await their Request for Information and hope to engage.

Great to see the GHG Protocol launch this new standard on land emission and removals, recognising the very different measurements needed for this compared with organisational carbon accounting with Scopes 1, 2 and 3.
Our land team will be diving into the details.

Get the full thread on @sharonkelly.bsky.social's reporting on ExxonMobil's history of avoiding climate accountability with industry docs dating back to the '60s and the context behind the oil major's backing of Carbon Measures from the editor who worked with her on the story 👇
Now ExxonMobil has joined the Carbon Measures coalition in an effort to reshape global climate accounting standards. The coalition says they "are focused on reducing the carbon intensity of the products responsible for the majority of global emissions."
