Assessment – Emissions Inventory

The mitigation questions in Section 3 (3.1, 3.1.1, 3.1.2, 3.1.3, 3.1.4, 3.2, 3.3, 3.3.1, 3.3.2) have been designed to align with the reporting requirements for CoM SSA signatories, specifically the ‘Assessment’ phase of the Baseline Emissions Inventory.

(3.1) Does your jurisdiction have a community-wide emissions inventory to report?

Response options

Select from:

  • Yes
  • No, but we are currently undertaking one and it will be complete in the next year
  • No, but we are intending to undertake one in the next two years
  • No, and we are not intending to undertake due to lack of financial capacity
  • No, and we are not intending to undertake due to lack of expertise/technical capacity
  • No, and we are not intending to undertake due to lack of financial capacity and expertise/technical capacity
  • No, and we are not intending to undertake due to other higher priorities
  • No, and we are not intending to undertake due to a reason not listed above, please specify

If “No” is selected, then there will be no further questions asked for this section due to the pathway selection criteria.

The ‘Target’ elements are addressed in Question 6.1.

Finally the ‘Plan’ phase elements can be reported in questions 8.1/8.1.1, and in 9.1/9.2 (in two final columns, CoM SSA signatories will be requested to indicate if any actions reported address mitigation issues and the related indicators).

Examples of reporting the Baseline Emissions Inventory

Targets section

To be compliant with the GCoM “Mitigation-Target badge”, cities must answer “Yes, our jurisdiction has an active greenhouse gas emissions reduction target(s)” in this question and complete all mandatory columns in Question 6.1a.

Actions section

 

To be compliant with the GCoM “Mitigation Plan badge”, cities must complete at least one mitigation action including all mandatory columns (highlighted with ^ symbol in the table below). Here are some helpful tips on how to avoid common mistakes when completing the mandatory columns:
GCoM mandatory columns GCoM mandatory columns Avoiding common mistakes
Primary emissions sector addressed and action type^ Please specify the action sector from the drop-down list.
Action description and web link to further information^ GCoM cities are required to report a brief description of each action.
Impact indicators measured^ Please select at least one indicator from “Estimated emission reduction” or “Estimated annual energy saving” or “Estimated annual renewable energy generation” , and then answer the numerical value of estimation in the pop-up boxes below.
Estimated emissions reductions (metric tons CO2e)^ To be compliant, at least one assessment shall be provided: Estimated annual emissions reductions, or estimated annual energy savings, or estimated annual renewable energy generation.
Estimated annual energy savings (MWh)^ To be compliant, at least one assessment shall be provided: Estimated annual emissions reductions, or estimated annual energy savings, or estimated annual renewable energy generation.
Estimated annual renewable energy generation (MWh)^ To be compliant, at least one assessment shall be provided: Estimated annual emissions reductions, or estimated annual energy savings, or estimated annual renewable energy generation.
Co-benefits realised^ Co-benefits are the positive impacts of the actions beyond adaptation. It could be the major benefit for the community such as job creation or improvement of public health. It helps us to celebrate the overcall achievement of local government through climate actions. Please do not leave this column blank.
Status of action in the reporting year^ GCoM cities are required to report the status of action implementation. The status of implementation shall be updated every three years as monitoring of the action plan.
Inclusion in climate action plan and/or city development/master plan^ GCoM requires cities to report actions as part of the action plan. Your answer here will help us build connection to your report in Question 7.1a.
