GHG action zone identification at the local level: Emissions inventory and spatial distribution as methodologies for policies and plans

The Pandemic Effect on GHG Emission Variation at the Sub-National Level and Translation into Policy Opportunities

“…Besides cereals, sunflowers, vegetables, olives and grapes, the territory is characterized by the Maremmana beef production, as well as specific rice varieties. Minor relevance is covered by the industrial sector and services (Comune di Grosseto, 2017; Marchi et al, 2023). The municipal territory -much smaller compared to the other analyzed contexts -is highly urbanized and densely populated in the areas occupied by urban settlements.…”

“…Greenhouse gas (GHG) emission accounting and monitoring procedures are normally implemented and provide indications in different contexts and sectors, including energy (Jung and Kwon, 2014), waste (Marchi et al, 2017), mobility (Cui et al, 2011), and planning , as well as different geographical scales, like the country-scale (Lalas et al, 2021;Rugani and Caro, 2020), city-scale (Andrade et al, 2018;Arioli et al, 2020;Marchi et al, 2023;Pulselli et al, 2019;Suryati et al, 2021), or facility-scale (Sun et al, 2022). However, while useful for nation-wide actions, their potential is limited due to the large variety that can exist in terms of both environmental, social, and economic aspects within a country (Clarke-Sather et al, 2011).…”

Expanding carbon neutrality strategies: Incorporating out-of-boundary emissions in city-level frameworks

“…For policymakers, achieving a comprehensive understanding of emission inventory [ [20] , [21] , [22] , [23] , [24] ] and designing the city-level carbon emission pathway and control strategies [ 25 ] hold equal importance. Yet, full-scope carbon emissions still lack concerns when pursuing carbon-neutral cities [ 26 ].…”

Unveiling the Spatial-Temporal Characteristics and Driving Factors of Greenhouse Gases and Atmospheric Pollutants Emissions of Energy Consumption in Shandong Province, China

“…Spatial explicit emission inventory is the foundation of a nuanced environmental plan; therefore, a series of studies on emission inventory have been conducted. However, while there is extensive research focusing either on GHGs or air pollutants individually, there are still limited studies that discuss emissions of both at the same time [9,10]. International researchers have conducted extensive work on developing emission inventories.…”
