Carbon management Carbon management is the process of monitoring carbon emissions and implementing measures to cut the level of atmospheric carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in order to reduce global warming. It refers to the management of processes to measure, assess, and mitigate associated carbon emissions at different scales, from county level through to industry, business and individual. This can only be achieved through establishing a carbon management strategy. Carbon management

2. Setting objectives: Setting objectives and targets for an organisation does require some level of analysis. It is important to adopt the SMART criteria approach and establish KPIs for performance evaluation 3. Reducing emissions: Accounting for emissions help identify the most effective reduction opportunities. GHG mitigation projects should primarily consider energy conservation methods or energy efficiency and renewable resources technologies and if applicable, carbon sequestration and storage. 4. Monitoring performance: monitoring progress towards environmental performance is a critical part of carbon management. It help a team stay on truck and focus onto the ultimate and make strategic changes if needed. 5. Offsetting emissions. After internal carbon reduction efforts have been implemented, an organization can still purchase carbon offsets to become for instance carbon neutral.
