Different sources of emissions are grouped according to where the activities take place and where the emissions are released. These groupings are referred to as ‘scopes’.
*Click on the red dots on the image below for more information
All GHG emissions that occur within the region’s boundary, due to activities taking place within the boundary (also referred to as “direct” emissions).
All GHG emissions from the use of grid-supplied electricity within the region’s boundary, and grid-supplied steam, heating and/or cooling within the region’s boundary (also referred to as “indirect” emissions).
All other GHG emissions that occur outside the region’s boundary as a result of activities within the region’s boundary (e.g. landfill emissions when waste is generated inside the region but disposed of outside the region)
Note on the GPC and levels of reporting
The GPC and CoM SSA framework require regions to report their emissions using two approaches: the scopes framework and the city-induced framework:
- The scopes framework distinguishes emissions that occur physically within the inventory area (Scope 1), from those that occur outside the inventory area (Scope 3), and emissions from electricity, steam and/or heating and cooling supplied by the grid (Scope 2), as shown in the scopes diagram in the previous section.
- The city-induced framework only reports emissions that occur within the inventory boundary, excluding energy generation supplied to the grid.
The CoM SSA framework requires that cities report all the information required by the GPC “BASIC” reporting level, at a minimum.
BASIC includes:
- All Scope 1 emissions from stationary energy (excluding energy generation supplied to the grid), transportation and waste sources
- All Scope 2 emissions from stationary energy and transportation sources
- Scope 3 emissions from the treatment of exported waste (Greenhouse Gas Protocol, 2015)
The BASIC reporting level therefore covers emission sources that occur in almost all subnational regions. BASIC level reporting is typically utilised for first time GHG inventories, with subsequent inventories building on the BASIC level reporting and including more complex BASIC+ sectors.
The BASIC sectors and scopes are:
- Stationary energy: Scope 1 and 2 emissions
- Transportation: Scope 1 and 2 emissions
- Waste: Scope 1 and 3 emissions
BASIC+ sectors and subsectors can also be reported where these are significant for a city or region. These include:
- Stationary energy: Scope 3 and territorial emissions
- Transportation: Scope 3 emissions
- Waste: Territorial emissions
- Industrial processes and product use (IPPU): All emissions
- Agriculture, forestry and other land use (AFOLU): All emissions
- Other Scope 3: All emissions
