In April, EPA issued a proposed rule requiring covered facilities to submit annual reporting of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In May, legislation designed to establish a regulatory framework for a national carbon cap-and-trade system was introduced. Impact of general debate on climate change to business is no longer academic but present and real.
This presentation will discuss how GHG emission poses a risk as well as an opportunity in today’s business environment and offer insights to how organizations can best position themselves in an evolving GHG regulatory framework and a carbon-constraint economy.
Specifically, the session will address:

• Evolving GHG regulatory landscape in North America
• Current development of regional initiatives
• Key legal implications to business operation
• Basic steps towards entity emission inventory and reporting
• Role and benefits of independent verification in entity emission reporting

This presentation will be presented by Wilhelm Wang and moderated by Lisa Williams, Editor of Environmental Protection
