There may be a partial causal ‘logic’ that underpins this assignment of responsibility\, but this is not explicitly reflected on or discussed within carbon accounting standards\, nor the related academic literature. As well as being an interesting question in its own right\, the answer may be useful for guiding the development of carbon accounting standards. E.g. under ‘market-based’ accounting\, is it appropriate for companies to report emissions based on their purchase of ‘emission attribute certificates’? Or does the allocation of emissions need to conform to some kind of real-world physical or causal relationship between the reporter and the emissions reported? This paper offers an initial exploration of the underpinning intuitions or rationales at play within carbon accounting practice. \nLocation:  Edgecliffe G03 URL:/philevents/event/ceppa-climate-ethics-talk-in-person-matthew-brander-university-of-edinburgh/ LOCATION:Edgecliffe G03 CATEGORIES:CEPPA Talk END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
