On 28 July 2022 (15:00-16:30 CEST), the World Resources Institute (WRI), C40 Cities and ICLEI, will host a webinar presenting a new globally standardized, flexible methodology to estimate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and carbon removals (sequestration) by forests and trees for cities and communities worldwide, building on the updated Global Protocol for Community-Scale Greenhouse Gas Emission Inventories (GPC).
Speakers will outline the methods covered in the new guidance: “Supplemental Guidance for Forests and Trees”, and showcase how cities and communities report their results and how to include them in their emissions reduction targets.
They will also discuss how communities have already inventoried GHG emissions and removals by forests and trees for more holistic climate action planning by outlining how some communities have already used these methods. This will be followed by a panel discussion featuring diverse perspectives and experiences from cities that have user tested the guidance, city climate action planners, and institutional partners and a live audience Q&A session.
