Carbon accounting is a subset of environmental accounting that focuses specifically on tracking and managing carbon emissions. It involves a systematic approach to measuring and reporting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, with the ultimate goal of reducing them. The primary GHGs of concern include carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O), among others. Accurate carbon accounting allows entities to understand their emissions profile, make informed decisions for mitigation, and demonstrate commitment to sustainable practices.
