The Federal Government has announced the development of voluntary GHG accounting standards for agriculture, fisheries and forestry.
This is intended to help:
- improve the quality and consistency of accounting methods and tools
- improve GHG accounting at the farm level to support mitigation action and market access
- reduce the reporting burden on farmers and land managers
- ensure farmers and landholders have trusted tools to understand their emissions.
A Voluntary Greenhouse Gas Estimation and Reporting Standards Reference Group has been established to ensure these standards meet user needs.
