Data presented here supports the climate risk section of this report. All emissions data presented is expressed as carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) and includes all Kyoto gases and refrigerants. ERM uses the Fifth Assessment Report as a source of global warming potential (GWP) without climate feedback. The detailed reference table can be found below. All data has been calculated using a market-based approach, unless otherwise stated. For further information on market-based methods, please refer to http://www.ghgprotocol.org.
