Revisiting community-scale greenhouse gas inventories.

■ INTRODUCTION Increasing urbanization, together with a lack of ambitious climate action at national levels, has positioned local governments (towns, cities, and counties) to take a leadership role on climate change mitigation. However, no broadly accepted standard yet exists to measure a community’s contribution to global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and thus to track progress toward meeting ambitious climate goals. The last year has seen a surge of interest in methods for measuring and tracking community-wide GHG emissions. Internationally, the C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group and ICLEI−Local Governments for Sustainability released a new draft community-scale protocol. In the United States, ICLEI-USA also released a draft “framework” and will soon be releasing a full draft protocol. Numerous academic journals, including this one, have also recently published articles on the topic of community-scale GHG inventory methods.
