On Tuesday, October 28, the Niskanen Center hosted a webinar and expert panel discussion marking the release of our new white paper From green goals to black ink: Reforming carbon accounting for a new era of competition. As global trade rules increasingly hinge on carbon intensity, credible and consistent carbon accounting has become a cornerstone of U.S. industrial competitiveness.

Panelists examined how reforms such as ledger-based accounting can improve comparability, align with international standards, and empower American manufacturers to demonstrate their climate advantage abroad.
