Companies all over the world increasingly invest in their own corporate carbon  accounting systems. We argue that doing so is essential not only from a compliance perspective, but also in order to achieve added transparency and accountability as companies seek to achieve their decarbonization goals.

The primary objective of the course is to introduce graduate students and freshly minted post-doctoral fellows to current research related to carbon accounting and reporting, and to identify promising avenues for future research. The course readings feature both theoretical and empirical papers.
