Inventory Review 1
Protocol & Scope
Global Protocol for Community-Scale
Emissions
Inventories emissions that result from activities
within City limits
Emission Scopes
Greenhouse gas emitting activities are
categorized by point of emissions:
•Scope 1 -Emitted inside city limits
•Scope 2 -Emitted elsewhere for activity
within city limits
•Scope 3 -Activity within city limits that
leads to emissions elsewhere
