Personnel Certification: A pathway to scaling and assuring greenhouse gas measurement, reporting, and verification

摘要

Policy considerations on quality assurance garner limited attention, yet are central to the operation and continued existence of schemes that require the measurement and management of GHG emissions. In an apparent response to the challenges of implementing quality assurance standards, the integration of competency requirements into GHG verifier accreditation programs has and continues to evolve. To date this divergence has focused on entity-level accreditation and testing and examinations of individuals, but with the emergence of personnel certification this issue has been rejiggered with a new mechanism emerging to systemically address competency.
