Abstract

Accurate verification and transparent reporting of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are essential for corporate sustainability, regulatory compliance, and global climate change mitigation efforts. The Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHGP) provides a standardized framework for measuring, managing, and reporting emissions across various sectors. This paper explores the methodologies for verifying emissions data, ensuring consistency and credibility in reporting. It discusses key challenges, including data accuracy, scope classification, and third-party verification processes. Additionally, it highlights the role of digital technologies, such as blockchain and AI-driven analytics, in enhancing reporting transparency. Strengthening GHG reporting frameworks through rigorous verification mechanisms fosters corporate accountability, supports policy development, and accelerates the transition to a low-carbon economy.
