(CSA Standards: Ontario, Canada) -- CSA Standards, a leading standards-based solutions organization, and The Climate Registry, the leading North American greenhouse gas (GHG) registry, recently announced a memorandum of understanding (MOU) that more closely aligns the two organizations in their efforts to support consistent GHG measurement and reporting in Canada.

“This MOU highlights CSA Standards’ and The Climate Registry’s mutual purpose and common goal of building standardized methods for measuring and tracking GHG emissions,” says Suzanne Kiraly, president of CSA Standards. “Continued collaboration between our two organizations will serve to further these efforts and in turn, benefit various organizations, including governments and industries.”

CSA has been working with Canadian jurisdictions to build components that support GHG reporting, regional emissions trading systems, and program performance tracking. The Climate Registry operates the premier North American voluntary GHG registry, with more than 340 members. Given its unique relationship with the 12 Canadian provinces and territories and the 41 states with representatives that sit on its board of directors, The Climate Registry also plays an active role in supporting mandatory reporting schemes across North America.
