COPE-BEST WORKSHOP 2: City-Scale GHG Accounting & Reporting Based on Global GHG Protocol for Cities (GPC)

Cities and communities are the home for over half of the global population, and account for around 75% of global energy-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Strategising mitigation actions at cities is crucial to combat global climate change but can’t be done without first measuring the city’s GHG emissions. The Global Protocol for Community-Scale Greenhouse Gas Emission Inventories (GPC) provides a standardised framework for cities and local governments to assess and report emissions within their geographic boundaries. Join our workshop on accounting city scale GHG emissions with a 2-in-1 package of intensive workshop and demonstration of digital templated tools for a more engaging hands-on learning!

This workshop enables participants to identify and quantify emissions from various community activities based on the GPC standard, including energy generation and use, public and private transportation, daily waste disposal, industry activities, as well as agriculture, forestry and land-use activities. Afraid of messy calculations? Worry no more as we will also demonstrate how to use the City Inventory Reporting and Information System (CIRIS), a free and easy-to-use Excel-based tool tailored in compliance to GPC, to simplify GHG monitoring and reporting for cities. Let us shed some light on your way to a strategised monitoring and communicating of GHG inventory between cities, which requires integrated commitment among various sectors. Register today and join our workshop to start developing GHG inventory for your city!
