ISO established the Ad Hoc Group on Climate Change to show policy-makers in business and government how existing ISO standards can be applied to national or companywide climate change programs. The AHGCC's report makes a case for putting ISO standards to work to achieve climate change goals such as:

• Establishing baselines for greenhouse gas emissions
  
• Monitoring GHG projects
  
• Measuring, verifying, and reporting GHG emissions reductions
