Corporate greenhouse gas contributions to climate change and sectoral activity pathways following a 2-degree global carbon budget

Researchers: Maida Hadziosmanovic, Damon Matthews, and Raymond Paquin

Highlights:

  • This project focuses on corporate contributions to climate change in the form of greenhouse gas emissions, as well as company activity pathways within the framework of a 2-degree global carbon budget
  • The work involves analyzing reported greenhouse gas emissions, specifically carbon dioxide for the 2015 fiscal year with the aim of providing sector activity pathways following the 2-degree carbon budget which fundamentally assumes serious and immediate climate change mitigation action by companies
  • Also under consideration are issues related to (the lack of) reporting and regulation of corporate emissions and other matters of transparency
