| Description | In this chapter, the authors review local climate action plans and their associated greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions inventories from 30 US cities in order to assess the degree to which climate action plans are informed by such inventories. They identify choices and assumptions the inventories require that may influence climate action plan policies and proposed actions. The authors hope this will help planners preparing climate action plans make informed, clear, and defensible choices, as well as optimize policy development and implementation in their communities. The rise of climate action planning at the community level can be traced to the emergence of the idea of "sustainable development" established in 1983 by the Brundtland Commission, also called the United Nations World Commission on Environment and Development. Best-practice standards for GHG emissions inventories and climate action plans are changing and improving on a regular basis. Book Name: Planning for Climate Change |
