Definition
The Global Protocol for Community-Scale Greenhouse Gas Inventories (GPC) is a GHG Accounting and Reporting Standard for Cities. [1]
Structure
The GPC is divided into three main parts:
- Part I introduces the GPC reporting and accounting principles, sets out how to define the inventory boundary, specifies reporting requirements and offers a sample reporting template
- Part II provides overarching and sector-specific accounting and reporting guidance for sourcing data and calculating emissions, including calculation methods and equations
- Part III shows how inventories can be used to set mitigation goals and track performance over time, and shows how cities can manage inventory quality
