Scope 3 Greenhouse Gas Emissions - An Introduction

This skill module provides an overview of scope 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. These are indirect emissions that occur in the value chain of an organization, extending beyond its immediate control or ownership boundaries. Scope 3 emissions from upstream or downstream activities are diverse, complex, and often challenging to quantify. They do however often represent the largest part of an organization’s GHG inventory, so it is important for an organization to consider their scope 3 emissions during the transition to a low-carbon world.
