Climate change is one of the most pressing global challenges, driven by rising concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHGs). These emissions, largely caused by human activities, are accelerating global warming and its environmental and societal impacts.

While newspaper printing plays an important role in informing the public, the industry also has an environmental footprint through energy use, paper consumption, transportation, and production processes. Addressing these emissions requires a structured, measurable approach across the entire printing operation.

Developed in alignment with global climate frameworks, including the UNFCCC, the Kyoto Protocol, and the Paris Agreement, this special report provides a practical framework for measuring, categorising, and managing emissions across the value chain.
