Urban Greenhouse Gas Inventory Overview
Cities play a crucial role in addressing the worldwide climate crisis. 75% of the world’s energy-related greenhouse gas emissions are produced in urban areas, and this proportion is expected to rise by the middle of the century, when two-thirds of the world’s population is projected to reside in urban areas.
Simultaneously, urban areas are devising and executing innovative strategies to combat climate change, including the reduction of emissions, the promotion of sustainable development, and the enhancement of climate resilience. To attain a net-zero future in accordance with the Paris Agreement, municipal authorities require a metric to quantify their emissions and ascertain the most efficacious strategies for their reduction.
The Urban Greenhouse Gas Inventory Overview course offers an overview of the urban greenhouse gas inventory, including principles of accounting and reporting, defining the inventory boundary, the structure of the city climate planner program, and the necessary steps to become proficient in the urban greenhouse gas inventory.
