One of the first steps in designing a comprehensive approach to
reducing greenhouse gas emissions is to conduct an inventory that
identifies the origins of your agency’s (or community’s)
greenhouse gas emissions originate. By understanding what
activities generate the greatest amount of greenhouse gas
emissions, it is possible to prioritize subsequent activities to
reduce the emissions in order to achieve the greatest reductions
feasible.
For any city or county conducting a greenhouse gas inventory,
there are many issues to address. Here are some key resources
that can help get you started.
The Beacon Award is sponsored by the Statewide Energy Efficiency
Collaborative, which offers no-cost resources to support the
energy and climate initiatives of California local governments.
