Grand Targhee To Publicly Report Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Grand Targhee Ski Resort in Wyoming has become a Founding Reporter of “The Climate Registry” (climateregistry.org) by being among the first to join the organization.
The Climate Registry is a non-profit organization established to measure and publicly report greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) in a common, accurate and transparent manner consistent across industry sectors and borders.
Thirty-nine U.S. states, six Canadian provinces, three Native American tribes, two Mexican states and the District of Columbia are the founders of the organization.
“Grand Targhee Resort has demonstrated exemplary environmental leadership by courageously stepping forward to support The Climate Registry in its preliminary stages. We are deeply grateful for their integral support in helping to address the challenge of climate change,” said Gina McCarthy, Chair of The Climate Registry.
Grand Targhee Resort is the first in the US ski industry to voluntarily commit to measure, independently verify, and publicly report their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions on an annual basis utilizing The Climate Registry General Reporting Protocol. The protocol is based on the internationally recognized GHG measurement standards of the World Resources Institute and World Business Council on Sustainability.
“Once we complete our inventory, we’ll better understand what our true environmental impacts are and can then identify the greatest opportunities to reduce those impacts. It is important to us that our emissions are accurately reported and the process is transparent and third-party verified,” said Christina Thomure, Director of Sustainable Operations.
The Climate Registry was incorporated March 2007 in Washington, DC, The Climate Registry provides accurate and transparent measurement of GHG emissions and ensures consistency of measurement metrics across industry sectors and borders. The Climate Registry accounting infrastructure supports both voluntary and regulatory programs.
