GHG terminology: 1
• Historic emissions/removals:– (commonly 1990 (or other base year) – Latest historic year (e.g. 2011/2012)
• Projections: from latest year to future years:– Builds in assumptions on economy and technology changes.
• ..including mitigation measures– Scenarios (test out different assumptions)
• Mitigation (policies &) measures (PAMS):– list of actions to reduce GHGs– Can be developed independently of projections– Qualitative or quantitative
• Targets:– Quantitative: Based on projections & analysis of PAMs.– Political. To match/beat other campaigns.
• Reporting: – some form of communication on historic or projected/PAMs
• Emissions/Removals Trading– Kyoto Protocol– EU Emissions Trading Scheme

GHG terminology: 2
• Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MRV):– Emerging terminology for supporting action with trust-worthy data on progress
• Sources:– Activities resulting in emissions of GHGs to the atmosphere.
• Sinks:– Activities resulting in removals of GHGs from the atmosphere and storage
• Sectors:– High level Categorisation of sources and sinks
• Categories and sub-categories:– Detailed level of categorisation of sources and sinks
• Key Categories: – categories that have a significant influence on a country’s total inventory of
greenhouse gases

![Page 8: _____________________________________________ Scotland’s Climate Change Declaration March 2014](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649e055503460f94af1953/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Drivers:Initiatives driving accounting
– Why: GHG accounting:• Global science & evidence:
(Global scale only)– Are we really responsible?
• Key sources/sinks & trends:– What’s going on, are things
getting better or worse
• Targets, action & monitoring– what can we change and
how?)
• Communication: – Successes, difficulties,
change behaviour, why the pain (e.g. Taxes).
Assess impacts
Assess mitigation potential
Set targets
Implement actions
Monitor actions
Demonstrate and
communicate progress
Reassess potential
and targets

Organisational:
• GHG Protocol & ISO 14064• DEFRA Company Reporting
– Direct emissions from all the activities across the organisation, including buildings’ energy use, industrial processes and company vehicles. (Scope 1) (Usual national Inventory approach)
– Electricity use (Scope 2)– Staff commuting, Supplier emissions (Scope 3)— companies in complying with the greenhouse gas (GHG) reporting regulation,
a requirement from the Climate Change Act 2008; Mandatory scope 1. — all organisations with voluntary reporting on a range of environmental matters,
including voluntary GHG reporting and through the use of key performance indicators (KPIs).
• CRC– Electricity & Gas for NON EUETS/CCA

City Footprinting: PAS2070 (City inventories with two approaches)
—a direct plus supply chain (DPSC); — direct from within the city boundary and — indirect from
— the consumption of grid-supplied electricity, — heating and/or cooling, — transboundary travel — and the supply chains from key goods and
services produced outside the city boundary — water supply, — food, — building materials
—a consumption-based (CB) methodology: — direct and life cycle GHG emissions for all goods and
services consumed by residents of a city.

National Methods: IPCC: Core Principals: 3 of 3
• Transparency: There is sufficient and clear documentation
• Completeness: Estimates are reported for all relevant categories of sources and sinks, and gases
• Consistency: Estimates across different inventory years, gases and categories are made in such a way that differences in the results between years and categories reflect real differences in emissions
• Comparability: The greenhouse gas inventory is reported in a way that allows it to be compared with greenhouse gas inventories for similar entities (national, city, organisational).
• Accuracy: The greenhouse gas inventory contains neither over- nor under-estimates (bias) so far as can be judged.

HISTORYLaunched in early 2007
All 32 local authorities signatories. SSN is the ‘custodian of the SCCD’
Scottish Government & COSLA support
All local authorities produce annual reports, which cover: • Governance• Corporate Emissions• Area-wide Emissions• Adaptation• Public Engagement / Partnerships
SSN team analyse the reports and work with SSN members and stakeholders to improve reporting
![Page 67: _____________________________________________ Scotland’s Climate Change Declaration March 2014](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649e055503460f94af1953/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)

YEAR 5 ANALYSIS
• All 32 local authorities reported in 2013 showing continued commitment to the Declaration.
• Analysis identified many areas of best practice across network
• SSN team conducted analysis on the reports to create recommendations within Year 5 Analysis Report including:
• Strategic• Functional• Local
![Page 68: _____________________________________________ Scotland’s Climate Change Declaration March 2014](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649e055503460f94af1953/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
70
Following creation of recommendations:1. Created new template:
• Keeps the same 5 headings as before• Includes information from Scottish Government’s Sustainability Reporting Guidance,
The Adaptation Framework and Flexible Framework• Includes Area-Wide reporting under RPP2 ambition headings (Energy, Homes and
Communities, Transport etc)• Changed reporting date to November to allow for CRC data, inclusion of energy data
from end of financial year (on member recommendation)
2. Completed 2 rounds of consultation with member focus group to ensure that the data we’re asking for is realistic and useful
3. Sent a communication to Council Leaders to inform them of the new template and change of reporting date
4. Template designed and ready to be launched following workshops including information on further SSN support available

Co-Benefits: Alison Smith• Take co-benefits account in decisions. E.g. air quality benefits should be
included in cost-benefit analysis of climate policy options.• Focus on win-win technologies and policies. E.g. energy efficiency, material
efficiency and behaviour change. • Beware of policies with few co-benefits and major conflicts, such as CCS and
geo-engineering.• Avoid lock-in to fossil fuels. shift to low-carbon energy sources. End fossil fuel
subsidies. Place a moratorium on exploitation of environmentally damaging sources such as tar sands and arctic oil.
• Address the rebound effect. Control total resource use and carbon emissions with caps, taxes, and policies to encourage behaviour change.
• Compensate losers. Help businesses, households and developing countries to adapt to a low-carbon economy, with appropriate financial and technical support. Provide support and retraining for workers who lose their jobs.
• Re-think the economy. Coping with a low consumption economy. (jobs, pensions and social spending). Shorter working hours, ecological tax reform, job guarantee schemes, basic income schemes and changes to the monetary system.
• Lifestyle and culture. shift to low-carbon lifestyles, with incentives, rewards and information campaigns to emphasise the health and well-being benefits of walking and cycling, eating less meat and adopting a less materialistic lifestyle. Government should lead by example, fostering an ‘I will if you will’ approach with low-carbon public procurement policies.

Engaging: Organisational Emissions
• Area Wide Enhancement: Large commercial and public sector organisations emissions data:
– Compliment CC Own Estate estimates..– Could be significant % of Area wide.. – Engagement tool Low carbon Community
• Focus for targets and action• Focus for Low Carbon collaboration

Organisational Emissions: Example Oxford
• Oxford Low emissions strategy– Integrated approach to carbon reduction and air quality – – joint action planning and monitoring – Central database of monitoring data
• Oxford Low Carbon Oxford Pathfinders– Local network of >30 organisations – Common aim to reduce carbon in city by 3% year on year, – Sharing of ideas and monitoring and reporting emissions and
savings – Creation of more 'green jobs' and a sustainable economy; – Oxford to become an exemplar low carbon city for the UK

Existing Data:• What data exists?
– DECC/Defra/SEPA– SCCD– SOA, – Sustainability Reporting, – SEAP
• Is it important?• How can it be used?
New Data:• What data can be created?
– Projections (RPP2)
• Why is it worth creating?
Challenges: Datasets?
What are the “Area Wide” questions?: • What are the key sources of emission or removals?• Are they increasing/decreasing?• Have we had any successes to date?• What opportunities are there to improve the situation?• Who should take the lead?• How long will it take?• What is the pain.. Cost..?

• Reducing Corporate Emissions– Could this include other willing organisations in the LA?
• Reducing Area-wide Emissions– Is DECC data good enough?– Can it be enhanced with other data?
• Corporate reporting (CRC, Voluntary, CCA etc)• Projections RPP2
– What targets?• Who has targets? What do they mean? How were they set? Why are targets
needed?
– How to communicate & track Actions?• Importance for different LAs?• How to track success/progress?• Common language/terminology for actions
