This management restructuring is part of the overall strategy update of the Protocol on Greenhouse Gases. In May 2022, he initiated the protocol on greenhouse gases strategy and organization review process including soliciting feedback from various stakeholders. This feedback requires a more formalized governance process and increased transparency and speed of standards creation.

As part of the new structure, he will now oversee organizational management steering committee , which will provide strategic guidance on the goals and direction of the Greenhouse Gas Protocol. This authority will approve mission, vision, strategy and rules of procedure of the Protocol on Greenhouse Gases, appoint members to the Independent Standards Board, provide oversight of the Independent Standards Board and ratify its decisions. The GHG Protocol Secretariat will continue to be hosted by the World Resources Institute (WRI) and the World Trade Center for Sustainable Development (WBCSD). (ashley.junger@wri.org)
