Local Government Operations Inventory

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.

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.
