About this journal

Carbon Management is a scholarly peer-reviewed forum for insights from the diverse array of disciplines that enhance our understanding of carbon dioxide and other GHG interactions – from biology, ecology, chemistry and engineering to law, policy, economics and sociology.

The core aim of Carbon Management is it to examine the options and mechanisms for mitigating the causes and impacts of climate change, which includes mechanisms for reducing emissions and enhancing the removal of GHGs from the atmosphere, as well as metrics used to measure performance of options and mechanisms resulting from international treaties, domestic policies, local regulations, environmental markets, technologies, industrial efforts and consumer choices.

One key aim of the journal is to catalyse intellectual debate in an inclusive and scientific manner on the practical work of policy implementation related to the long-term effort of managing our global GHG emissions and impacts. Decisions made in the near future will have profound impacts on the global climate and biosphere. Carbon Management delivers research findings in an accessible format to inform decisions in the fields of research, education, management and environmental policy.

Key themes in the scope of the journal include:

• The carbon cycle – understanding carbon management throughout the entire carbon cycle (sources, processes and sinks), including technological and engineering measures for carbon sequestration and the role of natural processes.
• Policy planning and implementation – investigating plans and efforts to manage GHG emissions at local, regional, national and international level and different sectors.
• Mitigation analysis – understanding, modelling, identifying, assessing and selecting appropriate policies, scenarios, technologies and business strategies.
• GHG protocols, standards, methodologies, emission inventories, accounting and metrics – designing, applying, and understanding the limitations of different approaches used for measuring, estimating, reporting and verifying GHG emissions and removals (including issues such as boundaries, additionality, baselines, leakage, permanence, and quality management); and using different technologies for various accounting frameworks (e.g., global, national, city, programmatic, product, value chain, entity, facility, and project) and sectors (e.g., fuel combustion, buildings, agriculture, forestry, waste management).
• Uncertainty – understanding and managing uncertainty in GHG management activities.
• Information and communication technologies (ICTs) – developing and using data management tools for GHG emissions, removals and storage; utilization of emerging smart technologies and information networks.

All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees.

All peer review is double anonymized and submission is online via Submission Portal.

Carbon Management is published in partnership with the Greenhouse Gas Management Institute.

The Greenhouse Gas Management Institute was founded in response to the current and future needs for qualified professionals to actively engage reversing the causes of climate change. Just as other key fields such as engineering and financial accounting rely on professionals, GHG emissions management requires a highly competent and ethical professional community to undertake measurement, reporting, verification, mitigation, and adaptation activities. The Institute develops technically rigorous GHG training curricula authored and instructed by leading experts and delivered globally via a "low carbon" e-learning portal combined with onsite workshops. The Institute has also prepared for the future where climate change is a central concern for society with the development of the world's first and only accredited personnel certification for GHG professionals.

Our mission is to build and support a global community of experts with the highest standards of professional practice in measuring, accounting for, auditing and managing GHG emissions. This effort is critical to ensuring that market mechanisms and policy responses to climate change are effective and credible, as well as a valuable source of new critical jobs.

The Institute is a nonprofit organization and recognized under section 501(c)(3) of the U.S. tax law with offices also in the Philippines, Canada, and Luxembourg. The Institute serves individuals and organizations, from beginners to expert practitioners, working in:

The Greenhouse Gas Management Institute was founded in 2007 and currently includes staff and adjunct faculty around the world. We have more than 2,000 alumni across more than 50 countries. The Institute also provides training for leading climate change institutions including the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change secretariat, US Agency for International Development, the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, and the World Bank. Specifically, the Institute works with the UNFCCC to train the Kyoto Protocol compliance review teams, has partnered with the World Resources Institute to train organizations and individuals on the GHG Protocol, and has incorporated the ISO 14064 series of standards into its training programs through an agreement with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
