•Purpose of the GPC
1. Help cities develop a comprehensive and robust GHG inventory to support climate action planning
2. Ensure consistent and transparent measurement and reporting of GHG emissions between cities
3. Enable cities to report mitigation performance in national or international framework
4. Demonstrate the importance of cities in tackling climate change, and facilitate insight through benchmarking, and aggregation of comparable data

Scope 1 Emissions
Scope 2 Emissions
Scope 3 Emissions
All GHG emissions from sources
located within the boundary of the
city
All GHG emissions occurring as a
consequence of the use of grid-supplied electricity, heating
and/or cooling within the city
boundary
All other GHG emissions that
occur outside the city boundary as a result of activities within the city’s
boundary

•Updates to reporting framework:
– Additional sub-sectors – Adjusted sectors for BASIC/BASIC+ reporting levels– Biogenic carbon CO2(b) and NF3
– Data quality indicators for activity data (AD) and for emission factors (EF) – Explanatory column added– Visualized formula and tools– Information table for renewable energy generation and carbon credit
transition
Significant guidance added:
– setting and tracking goals, calculation and methodology, – Where to obtain activity data and emission factors
