Enabling carbon markets: carbon accounting, benchmarking and disclosure 2008-2010

DOI

The project resulted in one peer-reviewed publication which used secondary data from three proprietary sources, as detailed below. The computer code associated with the paper's results has been archived. The section titled “Research Approach, Data and Methodology”, specifically Tables 1, 2 and 3, in Doda et al (2016) provides a detailed description of the variables and the source for each variable. We consider the ways that carbon markets can be better supported: for example, through new forms of carbon accounting that allow investors and other stakeholders to engage in new forms of private or market-based carbon governance. In particular, we analysed the extent to which market activities allow meaningful benchmarks of corporate performance on climate change. The project yielded one peer-reviewed publication which studies the quantitative impact of corporate carbon management practices on corporate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

Obtained proprietary data from: 1) Carbon Disclosure Project, 2) ORBIS, 3)ENDS. For more information see the files attached.
