The Climate Registry

TCR also consults with governments nationally and internationally on all aspects of GHG measurement, reporting, and verification.

Created by the State of California in 2001, CCAR promoted and protected businesses’ early actions to manage and reduce their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

Together, CCAR and its members influenced California climate change policy, including Assembly Bill 32 (AB 32), and worked to ensure proper recognition from the state for early actions to reduce emissions.

Recognizing climate change is a global issue and that success in emissions reporting must be based on consistent data in an integrated system that stretched beyond California’s borders, CCAR was instrumental in establishing TCR with the mission of expanding CCAR’s emissions reporting work to include all of North America.

CCAR accepted its last emission inventory reports for 2009 in December 2010 and officially transitioned its members to The Climate Registry.
