The Greenhouse Gas Protocol is a group of standards that are the most common in GHG accounting. [49] These standards reflect a number of accounting principles. They include relevance, completeness, consistency, transparency, and accuracy. [50]: 8–9 The standards divide emissions into three scopes:
The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) is a United Nations-run carbon offset scheme allowing countries to fund greenhouse gas emissions-reducing projects in other countries and claim the saved emissions as part of their own efforts to meet international emissions targets. It is one of the three Flexible Mechanisms defined in the Kyoto Protocol.
