Just a few weeks ago, a new member joined the Carbon Footprint International Alliance, also known as CFIA. 

Namely, on September 2nd, 2022, Thailand’s national programme, the Thai Carbon Labelling scheme, signed the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), officially becoming part of CFIA.
This membership represents an important step forward and the further enlargement of an international group whose goal is to ensure effective quantification and reporting of Carbon Footprints. 

The Thai ProgrammeOperator joins the four programmes that, in the context of last year’s COP26 in Glasgow, agreed to strengthen their collaboration toward the international recognition of Carbon Footprint labels. 

Also, at COP27 in Sharm El-Sheikh, the now five programmes will come together at the “CFIA: The Alliance for more consistent carbon footprints” event, which will take place on Saturday, November 12th, at 10:30 a.m. (local time).

The meeting will be a time to talk about the international experience of CO2 programme operators and the challenge of global cooperation in developing global greenhouse gas emission registries.
