This document summarizes the Global Protocol for Community-Scale Greenhouse Gas Emission Inventories (GPC). The GPC provides a global standard for cities to consistently measure and report their greenhouse gas emissions. It establishes a framework that comprehensively accounts for all emission sources and provides flexibility for basic and more advanced reporting levels. The GPC was developed through a collaborative multi-year process involving over 30 organizations and input from over 200 stakeholders. It has been pilot tested by 35 cities and adopted by over 1,000 cities worldwide.

- 2. www.ghgprotocol.org/city-accounting Cities’ Contribution To Global GHG Emissions >70% of global energy-related CO2 emissions are attributable to cities Source: World Energy Outlook
- 3. www.ghgprotocol.org/city-accounting Cities Are Leading The Way To Solutions Source: Global Aggregation of City Climate Commitments, 2014 Global Aggregation of City Climate Commitments
- 4. www.ghgprotocol.org/city-accounting The GPC offers the first, global standard to consistently measure city-level emissions. GPC
- 5. www.ghgprotocol.org/city-accounting Base year Emissions Scenario analysis Target Setting Action Plan Tracking Progress Implemen- tation LOW-CARBON PLANNING CYCLE Why Measure Emissions? Establish base year emissions Identify emission sources and reduction opportunities Set target and develop action plans Track progress Benchmarking
- 6. www.ghgprotocol.org/city-accounting Why GPC? Different types of measurements Account for only a portion of emissions Unclear if targets will be met Incomplete data limits investment Unable to relate to national climate action WITHOUT GPC One measurement Consistently account for all emissions Emissions trajectory will be understood Good data drives investment Can measure city’s contribution to national action WITH GPC

- 13. www.ghgprotocol.org/city-accounting Pilot City Experience: City of Rio de Janeiro Target: Avoid 20% of 2005 emission level by 2020 GPC Application: Used the GPC to establish 2005 base year emissions and track its 2012 progress
- 14. www.ghgprotocol.org/city-accounting Pilot City Experience: Wellington Region Used the GPC to measure GHG emissions of Wellington Region that made up of 8 cities (territorial areas) The GPC allows aggregation of city emission data without double counting
- 15. www.ghgprotocol.org/city-accounting Reporting Framework Scope Framework Comprehensively report all GHG emissions from: •Emissions from in-boundary sources (scope 1, or “territorial”) •Emissions from the use of grid- supplied energy (scope 2) •Emissions from out-of-boundary sources as a result of activities in the city (scope 3) City-induced Framework Report only GHG emissions that attributable to activities in the city: •BASIC level reporting: Cover sources that occur in almost all cities and calculation methodologies/data are more readily available •BASIC+ level reporting: More comprehensive coverage of emissions sources
