Inclusive Forum on Carbon Mitigation Approaches Papers

The Inclusive Forum on Carbon Mitigation Approaches (IFCMA) is the OECD’s flagship initiative designed to help optimise the global impact of emissions reduction efforts around the world through better data and information sharing, evidence-based mutual learning and inclusive multilateral dialogue. It brings together all relevant policy perspectives from a diverse range of countries from around the world, participating on an equal footing basis, to take stock of and consider the effectiveness of different carbon mitigation approaches. The OECD IFCMA Papers series brings together outputs from the initiative’s work to take stock of different carbon mitigation approaches, map policies to the emissions they relate to, and estimate their impact on greenhouse gas emissions, as well as on methodologies for computing carbon intensity of goods and sectors.

Towards more accurate, timely, and granular product-level carbon intensity metrics

A scoping note

This scoping note presents a high-level overview of the main approaches to, and challenges faced when, calculating product-level carbon intensity metrics, including those applicable to collecting and verifying information across the supply chain. Though the analysis focuses on approaches used in emissions-intensive trade-exposed sectors (EITE), the findings also have broader relevance to other sectors. As part of the analysis, challenges relating to computing sector-level carbon intensity metrics are also considered, particularly as inputs to product-level metrics.
