GHG Contribution Analysis

Tool Source:
ICLEI - Local Governments for Sustainability

Tracking progress in GHG mitigation can be a challenging exercise. Time between data points might be several years in length, the resolution of the data is often coarse, and the task in mitigation action is to manage a dynamic system that is open to many other factors that influence outcomes. In addition, many types of actions are diffuse throughout the community and rely on the individual decisions of many actors. In these types of circumstances, an approach known as “Contribution Analysis” can offer insights to the many factors working for and against the intended outcome.
The output of this project is a new toolkit designed to assist communities in the application of these new analysis techniques. The toolkit contains the following resources:

GHG Contribution Analysis Excel Tool
Guidance Document
Quick Start Guide
Data Collection Checklist
Data Request Templates
