SSN Area Wide Assessment Toolkit

05 June 2014

Aether recently completed a project for Sustainable Scotland Network (SSN) on an Area Wide Assessment Toolkit. Three Briefing Notes were produced: Note 1 provides information on useful greenhouse gas terminology and the drivers behind estimating greenhouse gas emissions, and summarises the targets and relevant legislation; Note 2 provides an introduction to national inventories and local authority area-wide inventories; Note 3 looks closer at the data requirements and tracking climate change actions for public sector organisations.
