Abstract

Abstract Clearly defined principles are essential elements of GHG accounting and reporting guidelines, protocols, and standards to address the unavoidable expert judgments that must be applied to address ambiguities in these documents. The IPCC guidelines identify transparency, accuracy, completeness, (time series) consistency, and comparability as its foundational data quality principles. The principles of conservativeness, relevance, and comparability see varied use across major GHG accounting references. These differences in principles, especially with respect to the principle of comparability, indicate there are underlying problems with many GHG accounting protocols and standards now heavily referenced and applied.

审查温室气体核算原则的影响

明确定义的原则是温室气体核算和报告指南、协议和标准的基本要素，以解决不可避免的专家判断，这些判断必须应用于解决这些文件中的模糊性。IPCC指南将透明度、准确性、完整性、(时间序列)一致性和可比性确定为其基本数据质量原则。保守性、相关性和可比性原则在主要温室气体核算参考文献中有不同的使用。这些原则上的差异，特别是在可比性原则方面的差异，表明现在大量引用和应用的许多温室气体核算议定书和标准存在潜在问题。

期刊介绍： Carbon Management is a scholarly peer-reviewed forum for insights from the diverse array of disciplines that enhance our understanding of carbon dioxide and other GHG interactions – from biology, ecology, chemistry and engineering to law, policy, economics and sociology. The core aim of Carbon Management is it to examine the options and mechanisms for mitigating the causes and impacts of climate change, which includes mechanisms for reducing emissions and enhancing the removal of GHGs from the atmosphere, as well as metrics used to measure performance of options and mechanisms resulting from international treaties, domestic policies, local regulations, environmental markets, technologies, industrial efforts and consumer choices. One key aim of the journal is to catalyse intellectual debate in an inclusive and scientific manner on the practical work of policy implementation related to the long-term effort of managing our global GHG emissions and impacts. Decisions made in the near future will have profound impacts on the global climate and biosphere. Carbon Management delivers research findings in an accessible format to inform decisions in the fields of research, education, management and environmental policy.
