Definition

Territorial GHG Accounting is the collection and aggregation of multiple GHG inventories by combining only the scope 1 emissions reported by entities (e.g. cities). Aggregating only scope 1 emissions from entities / cities without overlapping geographic boundaries ensures that the aggregated results will not double count any emission sources, since emissions can only be physically generated in one location.[1]
