This guide explains the classification of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions into three scopes: Scope 1 covers all direct GHG emissions; Scope 2 addresses indirect emissions from purchased electricity, heating, or cooling; and Scope 3 entails all other indirect emissions, such as those from outsourced activities or waste disposal. It highlights the significance of reducing emissions, exemplified by remarkable metrics like millions of gallons of gasoline not used, significant carbon sequestration from forests, and the impact on community energy use. Understanding these scopes is vital for effective climate action.

What is a Scope? Scope 1: All direct greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions Scope 2: Indirect GHG emissions associated with the consumption of purchased or acquired electricity, steam, heating, or cooling Scope 3: All other indirect emissions not covered in Scope 2 Example – Transport-related activities in vehicles not owned or controlled by the city, outsourced activities ,waste disposal etc.
