The Inventory of New York City GHG emissions allows us to understand where emissions come from and track our progress in reducing them. The City’s annual inventory report consists of two inventories: Citywide and City Government. , and the City Government Inventory reports activities associated with the New York City government.

1. Citywide GHG Inventory
   The Citywide GHG Inventory reports all activities taking place within the boundary of New York City. It consists of all direct and indirect GHG emissions from stationary energy sources (such as buildings), transportation and waste.
   GHG emissions in the Citywide Global Inventory are calculated and reported in accordance with the Global Protocol for Cities (GPC) and the Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate and Energy, a global cooperative effort among mayors and city officials to reduce GHG emissions, track progress, and prepare for the impacts of climate change. The citywide GHG emissions inventory is compliant with the GPC BASIC level of reporting.

2. The City Government Inventory
   The City Government Inventory reports GHG emissions from operations, facilities, or sources owned by the City, or over which the City has full authority to introduce and implement operations, health and safety, and environmental policies. GHG emissions from leased real estate, vehicles, and other equipment are included. Non-city operated public entities (e.g. Metropolitan Transportation Authority) are not included. The City Government Inventory is calculated and reported per the Local Government Operations Protocol.
