Greenhouse gas emission inventories for local governments
40 Cities, 90 GHG Inventories and 447 million tCO2e/year as of 15 Nov,2011
Collating an inventory of all relevant emission sources is an essential step in measuring and reporting changes in carbon emissions – this monitoring and reporting process is at the heart of any climate mitigation strategy.
Reliable emissions data are the first step toward implementing appropriate climate actions, as well as:
- Establishing the status quo of greenhouse gas emissions.
- Verifying and measuring the effectiveness of reduction activities.
- Identifying the most cost-effective emissions reduction measures.
- Showing decision-makers the best way toward an effective and efficient climate mitigation strategy
carbonn® enables cities to report their emissions in a harmonized way, specifically tailored to the requirements of a local government.
