Carbon emissions reporting

Human activities continue to impact Earth's climate through the emission of greenhouse gases.〔Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change 2013 Summary for Policymakers. http://www.climatechange2013.org/images/uploads/WGI_AR5_SPM_brochure.pdf〕 One of the proposed ways to combat this climate change is through reporting by businesses on the impact of their activities. Large power stations and manufacturing plants are often required to report their emissions to appropriate government entities, for example to the European Union as part of the Emissions Trading System 〔EU Emissions Trading System. http://ec.europa.eu/clima/policies/ets/index_en.htm〕 or to the US EPA as part of the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program.〔EPA Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program. http://www.epa.gov/ghgreporting/index.html〕 In the United Kingdom, Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) has described climate change as the "greatest environmental challenge facing the world today,"() and it is now a legal requirement for all quoted companies to report their annual greenhouse gas emissions.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mandatory carbon reporting )
Many companies have adopted the standards put forth by the Greenhouse Gas Protocol,〔Greenhouse Gas Protocol. http://www.ghgprotocol.org/〕 a partnership between the World Resources Institute and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development. The widespread acceptance of these standards has made it increasingly feasible to compare emissions by companies both within and across sectors. The protocol divides emissions into various scopes of production, ranging from direct emissions from production to indirect emissions due to employee travel and the lifecycle use of produced goods.
==The leading emitters==

Global emissions of greenhouse gases have surpassed 30,000 teragrams per year and have been increasing rapidly. In 2008, the top carbon dioxide (CO2) emitters were China, the United States, the European Union, India, the Russian Federation, Japan, and Canada. This includes CO2 emissions from fossil fuel combustion, as well as cement manufacturing and gas flaring. Together, these sources represent a large proportion of total global CO2 emissions.〔Global Greenhouse Gas Emissions Data. http://www.epa.gov/climatechange/ghgemissions/global.html#four〕 The sectors contributing the most emissions were Energy supply, industry, forestry, agriculture, and transportation, with the remainder attributed to residential and commercial buildings and waste and wastewater.
