04/06/2025 - Make Carbon Count: Setting up a new Carbon Regulator
Our future Net Zero economy relies on credible emissions data. This data is essential for businesses and government to evaluate and make informed decisions about the effectiveness of different routes to Net Zero. But how can we make sure that this data – and the carbon accounting practices which underpin it – are fit for purpose?
The existing regulatory landscape is complex and siloed, leading to inconsistencies and conflicts between different carbon accounting approaches, as well as increasing the administrative burden on UK businesses.
Join us for an introduction on our proposal for a Carbon Regulator, in which we will cover:
Why we need to improve regulatory oversight of carbon accounting and emissions data.
How a Carbon Regulator could support innovation and growth, level the playing field for competition, and cement the UK’s global influence.
The key regulatory functions of the Carbon Regulator.
Why we are proposing the Carbon Regulator should sit within the new Audit, Reporting and Governance Authority.
How a Carbon Regulator would reduce the administrative burden for businesses and boost investor confidence.
