Additional GHG Accounting

Additional GHG Accounting Preliminary and emerging scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions assessments are tracked in a separate inventory from the main Cornell GHG baseline inventory used to measure progress towards carbon neutrality by 2035. What does Cornell measure as part of its baseline inventory, and what additional Scope 3 areas have been completed in the additional inventory? Click on this diagram to enlarge and learn more.What is "Additional Accounting"? Cornell maintains a baseline GHG inventory and publishes additional GHG accounting here. The baseline greenhouse gas inventory includes accounting areas required by our public commitment to reach carbon neutrality as part of the Second Nature Carbon Commitment. Read more about our baseline inventory methodology here. New areas of Scope 3 accounting are measured and reported separately in the additional inventory.  The additional GHG inventory allows members of the camps community to contribute to a wider view of Cornell's organizational climate impact, without changing the original "goalposts" of the public carbon commitment.  These additional areas of accounting also allows faculty and students to contribute to emerging greenhouse gas accounting science using Cornell facilities as a living laboratory to inform operational best practices and test solutions to scale for greater impact. Some additional inventories were completed once, others may be updated annually.  Additional inventories are the responsibility of the interested party to assess and keep up to date.
