Chapter 2: Berkeley's Greenhoue Gas Emissions Estimates
WHY CONDUCT A GHG EMISSIONS INVENTORY?
Read entire Chapter 2: Berkeley's Greenhouse Gas Emissions Estimates & Targets
Measure G targets an 80 percent greenhouse gas emissions reduction below 2000 levels by the year 2050. To ensure that we stay on course to meet this long-term target, it makes sense to set interim, short-term targets and to track our emissions reduction progress over time by conducting regular, community-wide greenhouse gas emissions inventories.
It helps to think of an inventory as a "snapshot" of our community's emissions for a given year. This "snapshot" is a useful policy tool because it quantifies the main sources of heat-trapping emissions for which our community is responsible. Equipped with this knowledge, we can better target our climate actions to address those actions.
