Local Government Operations Inventory

From Open Risk Manual

Definition

Local governments may want to measure GHG emissions from their own municipal operations via a local government operations (LGO) inventory.

An LGO inventory allows local governments to identify GHG reduction opportunities across their jurisdiction and demonstrate leadership in taking action. For example, Activity Data from city-owned or operated buildings, facilities, landfills or land can be more precise than estimating activity data from those sectors based on scaled regional or national data.
