Is your municipality preparing to develop a greenhouse gas inventory for Milestone One of the Partners for Climate Protection? Are you looking for guidance managing a greenhouse gas inventory? If so this new handbook is for you. Municipal staffs who use the handbook in developing their GHG emissions inventories and forecasts will find it easier to achieve PCP Milestone 1.
