Completed project
A common approach to sector-level greenhouse gas accounting for Australian agriculture (HA20007)

Delivery Partner: Agricultural Innovation Australia
Australian agriculture now has a common framework for greenhouse gas (GHG) accounting, helping support sector-level baselines, reporting and communication of a united Australian narrative around emissions.

The Common Approach is recommended for use at a national and/or regional level. The approach can be used for:
