Cities’ Contribution To Global GHG Emissions
>70%
of global energy-related CO2 emissions are
attributable to cities

The GPC offers the first, global standard to consistently measure city-level emissions.
GPC

LOW-CARBON PLANNING CYCLE
Why Measure Emissions?
Establish base year emissions
Identify emission sources and reduction opportunities
Set target and develop action plans
Track progress
Benchmarking

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

Pilot Tested by 35 Cities

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

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

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

Scope Framework
Scope 1
Agriculture, Forest, & Other Land Use
Industrial Process & Product Use
In-boundary Transportation
Grid-Supplied Energy
Transmission & Distribution
Out-of-Boundary Waste
In-Boundary Waste
Out-of-Boundary Transportation
Stationary Fuel Combustion
Scope 3
Scope 2
Other Indirect Emissions
CO2 CH4 N2O HFCs PFCs SF6 NF3

City-Induced Framework
Scope 1
In-Boundary Waste
Scope 3
Scope 2
Waste generated outside the city
Waste generated in the city
Energy generation supplied to the grid
Other Indirect Emissions

Scope 1
In-Boundary Waste
Scope 3
Scope 2
BASIC+ Level Reporting
