emissions‐gpc.html

The Global Protocol for Community scale GHG emissions (GPC) was developed by ICLEI and C40 and
supported by the World Bank, UN‐Habitat and others.
In GPC, the emissions summing up to the total community emissions are divided into sectors and
subsectors, see below. For each subsector, direct emissions (scope 1) and indirect emissions (scope
2) should be reported. In addition, communities are asked to report direct emissions accounted for
elsewhere and scope 3 emissions related to main sectors.

Table J.1 – Sector/Subsector of GPC

Sector Subsector

Residential, commercial/industrial facilities, energy generation, and
Stationary units
industrial energy use as subsectors.
On‐road transportation (cars, light duty vehicle (LDV), heavy duty vehicle
Mobile units (HDV), buses, others), railways (including urban metro/rail transport
system), water‐borne navigation, aviation, off‐road.
Solid waste, biological treatment of waste, waste incineration and open
Waste
burning, wastewater treatment and discharge.
IPPU Industrial processes and product uses.

This protocol is a development of the international local government GHG emissions analysis
protocol (IEAP) published by ICLEI in 2009 (international local government GHG emissions analysis
protocol (IEAP), version 1.0. October 2009, available at
http://carbonn.org/fileadmin/user_upload/carbonn/Standards/IEAP_October2010_color.pdf ).
The IEAP consists of principles that should be adhered to when inventorying GHG emissions from a
community.
