At the UNFCCC COP20 in Lima Peru, WRI, C40 and ICLEI launch the first internationally accepted standard for measuring emissions at the city level. The Global Protocol for Community-Scale Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventories (GPC) empowers cities to accurately identify where their emissions are coming from, set credible and achievable reduction targets, and consistently track progress.

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. Pilot City Experience: City of Rio de Janeiro www.ghgprotocol.org/city-accounting 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. 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 www.ghgprotocol.org/city-accounting
- 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
