Welcome!

In response to growing global interest, The Greenhouse Gas Management Institute ("GHGMI") was conceived to be the preeminent international professional association for GHG practitioners. After our recent launch Å, the not-for-profit GHGMI Has drafted codes, policies, qualifications and professional programs necessary to support a well-designed and functioning organization for a credible and respected global membership of professionals.

Achieving consensus on these aspects of the GHGMI requires much effort on behalf of the many volunteers that support us during this initial phase. We invite you to contact us if you have suggestions or questions, or if you would like to contribute to the development of these fundamental components of the GHGMI.

In addition to the numerous training courses under development and coming online, of immediate importance to the success and growth of the GHGMI and the profession of GHG practitioners is the development of
1. the Code of Ethics and Responsibilities for Professional Conduct by which GHG practitioners agree to uphold to promote professional behavior,
2. the framework and activities for Members in the GHG Management Institute to support development of an international community to learn and exchange among each other, and
3. various Professional Programs to define the training and experience requirements to qualify GHG practitioners as experts in specific areas. We are confident that the mission and activities of the GHG Management Institute offers unique benefits to members and their stakeholders. Your involvement each step of the way is the key to the success for the GHGMI.

Sincerely,

Tom Baumann
Director of Professional Programs
