Audiobook | CSN Report - Carbon Management Standards
03/26/25 • 30 min
The Commonwealth is a voluntary association of 56 independent and equal countries. It is home to 2.7 billion people and includes both advanced economies and developing countries. 33 of its members are small states, including many island nations. It’s member governments agree to shared goals like democracy, trade and development.
The Commonwealth Standards Network (CSN) was established in 2018 to promote the use of standards to boost trade and development in low and middle-income Commonwealth countries. The UK Government helps fund CSN activities via its International Development budget and the programme delivery is managed by BSI.
The CSN collaborates with National Standards Bodies (NSBs) - from throughout the Commonwealth – helping to improve the services they offer to their stakeholders to enhance the effective use of standards, leading to economic, sustainability and society benefit.
This episode of The Standards Show is an audio-abridged version of a CSN Report: Carbon Management Standards - Supporting Sustainable Infrastructure and Reducing Costs.
As nations work toward climate goals and economic growth, carbon management has emerged as a crucial tool for achieving a net-zero economy while enhancing cost efficiency. Commonwealth countries face diverse economic and geographical challenges in implementing standardized approaches to infrastructure development. By adopting consistent carbon management standards, waste can be minimized, costs reduced, and sustainability reinforced, ultimately strengthening economic resilience.
