An international organisation fostering international monetary and financial cooperation, the BIS serves as a bank for central banks and also hosts a number of international organisations.  
(GWP).


Customers are exclusively central banks and international organisations.
GWP is a relative measure of the amount by which a greenhouse gas emission would warm the earth.


The BIS was established by agreement between the parties (plus Switzerland) to arrangements after World War I for payment of reparations by Germany to the principal allied victors. Its mandate and membership was extended and it is now a principal hub of cooperation between central banks and non-central-bank bank supervisors generally.
The reference is carbon dioxide, CO<sub>2</sub>.


By definition, the GWP of carbon dioxide is 1.


The BIS hosts a number of other bodies including the:
*Basel Committee on Banking Supervision;
*Financial Stability Board;
*International Association of Insurance Supervisors (IAIS); and
*International Association of Deposit Insurers.


 
Using this measure, the GWPs of other greenhouse gases are quantified on this scale.
The BIS is headquartered in Basel, Switzerland.

Environmental policy - greenhouse gases - measurement - reporting.

(GWP).

GWP is a relative measure of the amount by which a greenhouse gas emission would warm the earth.

The reference is carbon dioxide, CO2.

By definition, the GWP of carbon dioxide is 1.


Using this measure, the GWPs of other greenhouse gases are quantified on this scale.
