In March 2023,WBCSD published its first cross-sectorGuidance on Avoided Emissions. Over 60 multinational companies and expert organizationscontributed to the development of the Guidance.WBCSD presented the Guidance at the Sapporo G7Climate, Energy and EnvironmentMinisters Meeting in April 2023 and the G7ministersofficiallywelcomed and referenced the work in their final communiqué. Business, financeand policyactorspositively received the Guidanceand the relationship withkeystakeholdershas since deepened and broadened.Thishasalso led to the expansion of the WBCSDAvoided Emissions work portfolio,with the aimtocontributeto more standardized approaches foravoided emissions accounting.WBCSDis continuously engagingwith companies across key sectors,such asthebuilt environment, agricultureandfood, chemicals, energy,transportandmobility, anddigital,to test andfurtherenhance the Guidance asthe intervention-based emissions accountinglandscape is still nascent and emerging methodologies arestill intheirearly adoption phases. As a next step,we aimtorefine the Guidanceand move towards adocumentwith hightechnicalquality thatsupportsthefurther standardization ofavoided emissions methodologiesand preparesfor(partial)integration instandard-settingprocessesinthecontext ofcorporate climateaction andmarket-based mechanisms.Athorough review of >10existing an
