1Introduction1.1IntroductionAligned with GHG Protocol ACI EUROPE and ACI Asia Pacific Climate Change Commitment Resolution on Climate Change 2008 ACI EUROPE and ACI ASIA-PACIFIC are working to assist their member airports to assess and reduce their carbon footprint. Airport Carbon Accreditation enables airports to implement carbon management processes and gain public recognition of their achievements through the attainment of accreditation at different levels of participation. The entry point to the programme recognises that an airport is quantifying and verifying its carbon footprint, and that senior management has made a high level policy commitment to the reduction of carbon emissions. The highest level of participation is designed for airports that have achieved carbon neutrality by reducing emissions as a priority and have offset residual emissions. Airport Carbon Accreditation’s carbon footprint definition and calculation have been based on the Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG Protocol) published by the World Business Council for Sustainable Development and the World Resources Institute. The programme utilises the GHG Protocol concept of scope 1, 2 and 3 for defining emission sources, with suitable adaptation for an airport situation and taking into account emissions from activities that an airport can control, those it can guide through effective partnerships and those it can only influence. The overall aim of Airport Carbon Accreditation is to provide recognition of improved performance in carbon and energy management and to encourage the development of management practices that support the principles of best in class carbon management, or as desired, carbon neutrality. 1.2This DocumentThis document provides ACI EUROPE and ACI ASIA PACIFIC member airports with guidance on Airport Carbon Accreditation, the requirements of each level of participation and how to meet them. 1.3Admin Doc 1There is an Airport Carbon Accreditation Application Assessment Form (Admin Doc 1) available from the programme administrator which should be used to apply for first-time participation in the programme, to upgrade from one level to another or for renewing participation. The Admin Doc 1 requires the submission of administrative details, brief self-explanatory descriptions to answer various questions and, where applicable, reference to relevant documents within the carbon management system. 1.4VerificationIn order to ensure that information provided by airports is a fair and accurate representation of the activities at the airport and the carbon footprint data provided, it is a requirement of the programme that airports must have their information independently verified by a third party. Further information on the requirements for verification can be found in chapter 9 of this document. 1.5HelpLINEHELPLINE
