According to Sequence Staffing, one of the authors, this survey represents the industry’s first collection of data in relation to the greenhouse gas and climate change workforce.

Seven of the Key findings of the report include:

1. Greenhouse gas accounting is critical to combating global climate change.
2. There is a significant shortage of qualified personnel and experts to meet the challenges.
3. The GHG accounting and climate change industry is projected to grow significantly as a “super sector.”
4. Carbon is projected to be traded at volumes greater than other major commodities such as steel or coal.
5. Given the labor shortage, the risk is moderately high that carbon trading could face accounting scandals like those symbolized by Enron, WorldCom and Tyco.
6. Greenhouse gas accounting is expected to become professionalized like that of the IT Industry; to grow very large and very rapidly.
7. Educational institutions are not adequately training new graduates with GHG accounting and management skills to meet climate change demands.

The survey was intended as a policy neutral approach to obtaining information from the combined International community and experts. The focus of the authors was on acquiring valuable and much needed data while not promoting policy or specific protocols, standards or programs.
