Emissions Accounting to Accelerate Decarbonization

Institute for Policy Integrity @ NYU School of Law

Hosted by the Institute for Policy Integrity at NYU Law and the Tandon School of Engineering’s Sustainable Engineering Initiative

40 Washington Square S

As electricity demand rises and many companies and organizations commit to using more clean energy, robust emissions-accounting rules could help determine the pace of decarbonization. This conference will explore best practices for measuring the clean-energy content or carbon dioxide emissions linked to a particular unit of electricity consumption.The existing greenhouse gas emissions accounting standards have been governed by the Greenhouse Gas Protocol since 1998, but many stakeholders have suggested possible improvements. The conference will bring together a wide array of stakeholders to discuss different approaches to carbon-emissions accounting and their potential to make clean-energy-procurement policies and corporate commitments more effective, in the U.S. and internationally.View the full event agenda <a href="https://policyintegrity.org/documents/Policy_Integrity_Sept_2024_Conference_Agenda_2024.09.10.pdf" title="https://policyintegrity.org/documents/Policy_Integrity_Sept_2024_Conference_Agenda_2024.09.10.pdf" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">here</a>.The event will feature a keynote address from Lily Batchelder, professor at NYU School of Law and former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for tax policy.
