This session will address the following:
- What are avoided emissions, and why are they becoming an important metric for demonstrating climate impact beyond traditional greenhouse gas accounting?
- How do organisations quantify avoided emissions, and what methodologies and approaches are commonly applied in practice?
- How do avoided emissions differ from carbon credits and renewable energy certificates, and what are some of the most common misconceptions?
- What constitutes good practice for reporting avoided emissions, and what challenges should organisations consider when quantifying and communicating them?
- How are evolving reporting and disclosure frameworks, including IFRS Sustainability Standards and Green Taxonomy standards, influencing the use of avoided emissions?
Drawing on their experience in avoided emissions quantification and reporting, SLR experts Michael Van Niekerk, Principal Consultant, Corporate Sustainability, and Ndivhuwo Tshisudi, Senior Consultant, Corporate Sustainability, will share practical insights into the opportunities and challenges associated with avoided emissions reporting. The session will provide attendees with a clear understanding of the concept, its application in practice and key considerations for credible disclosure.
This briefing is designed for fund managers, impact investors and development finance institutions investing in low-carbon opportunities and seeking to better understand the role of avoided emissions in demonstrating climate impact.
