Cities’ Contribution To Global GHG Emissions
>70%of global energy-related CO2 emissions are
attributable to cities
Source: World Energy Outlook
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
understood
Good data drives
investment
Can measure city’s contribution to national action
WITH GPC
www.ghgprotocol.org/city-accounting
The GPC offers the first,
global standard to consistently
measure city-level emissions.

Why Measure Emissions?
Establish base year emissions
Identify emission sources and reduction opportunities
Set target and develop action plans
Track progress
Benchmarking

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

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
