Aims and scope
Please note, from 2022 the Print ISSN is not in active use as this journal is no longer published in print.
Carbon Management is a scholarly peer-reviewed forum for insights from the diverse array of disciplines that enhance our understanding of carbon dioxide and other GHG interactions – from biology, ecology, chemistry and engineering to law, policy, economics and sociology.

The core aim of Carbon Management is it to examine the options and mechanisms for mitigating the causes and impacts of climate change, which includes mechanisms for reducing emissions and enhancing the removal of GHGs from the atmosphere, as well as metrics used to measure performance of options and mechanisms resulting from international treaties, domestic policies, local regulations, environmental markets, technologies, industrial efforts and consumer choices.

One key aim of the journal is to catalyse intellectual debate in an inclusive and scientific manner on the practical work of policy implementation related to the long-term effort of managing our global GHG emissions and impacts. Decisions made in the near future will have profound impacts on the global climate and biosphere. Carbon Management delivers research findings in an accessible format to inform decisions in the fields of research, education, management and environmental policy.

Key themes in the scope of the journal include:

The carbon cycle – understanding carbon management throughout the entire carbon cycle (sources, processes and sinks), including technological and engineering measures for carbon sequestration and the role of natural processes.
Policy planning and implementation – investigating plans and efforts to manage GHG emissions at local, regional, national and international level and different sectors.
Mitigation analysis – understanding, modelling, identifying, assessing and selecting appropriate policies, scenarios, technologies and business strategies.
GHG protocols, standards, methodologies, emission inventories, accounting and metrics – designing, applying, and understanding the limitations of different approaches used for measuring, estimating, reporting and verifying GHG emissions and removals (including issues such as boundaries, additionality, baselines, leakage, permanence, and quality management); and using different technologies for various accounting frameworks (e.g., global, national, city, programmatic, product, value chain, entity, facility, and project) and sectors (e.g., fuel combustion, buildings, agriculture, forestry, waste management).
Uncertainty – understanding and managing uncertainty in GHG management activities.
Information and communication technologies (ICTs) – developing and using data management tools for GHG emissions, removals and storage; utilization of emerging smart technologies and information networks.
