Developing Emissions Quantification Protocols for Carbon Pricing : A Guide to Options and Choices for Policy Makers

Carbon pricing is an important instrument in addressing climate change. However, a well-functioning carbon pricing instrument needs a robust framework to quantify GHG emissions (including removals) underpinned by high quality data. This data can he...
