The Global Protocol for Community-Scale Greenhouse Gas Emission Inventories (GPC) has been revised and is now available for public comment until August 18th. The authors particularly welcome review by city officials, practitioners, and technical experts in the fields of energy, transportation, waste management, agriculture and forestry.
The GPC represents a joint effort between the World Resources Institute (WRI), C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group (C40), and ICLEI – Local Governments for Sustainability (ICLEI) with additional collaboration by the World Bank, UNEP, and UN-HABITAT. As a global reporting standard, the GPC enables cities and communities to consistently measure and report GHG emissions and develop climate action plans and low-emission urban development strategies.
To comment on the new GPC draft 2.0, please use the feedback template provided on the GHG Protocol website and/or provide track-changes in the posted Word file and submit by email to gpc@wri.org by August 18th.
