2. Supporting UAMAs with Citywide Methodology Accounting tool for post-2012 mechanisms The Citywide Methodology is a two-part tool, with project and inventory-based components. In this sense – it is a transitional mechanism, spanning both pre and post-2012 markets. The World Bank has formed a working group with IDB, CAI, ITDP, WRI, and EMBARQ to develop transport inventory and project-based tools for next generation of carbon finance and cap and trade schemes. This work is being mirrored in the other sectors supported by the Citywide Methodology, with the goal of creating a comprehensive tool.

3. Inventory Architecture More than just a data collection exercise Define uses for the inventory Define target parameters Prepare formula(e) Prepare data collection and verification methods Prepare methods to estimate level of certainty Prepare data entry and presentation templates

4. Inventory Uses Inventory uses define its structure Compare Cities against Each Other? Estimate Emissions Reductions? Leverage Climate Finance? Monitor Performance over Time? Will the Inventory… No Yes Sort of No need for identical boundaries and data collection methods Inventory must be easily auditable by a third party Data parameters must be readily available on a regular basis Inventory primarily used to measure efficiency performance

5. Inventory Parameters What do we want to track over time? If the GHG inventory presented the gross amount of emissions in a developing city per year, we could expect the inventory results to increase over time – masking any improvements that might have been made. We could evaluate these emissions against a baseline – what would emissions have been if the city did not make any attempts to be more energy efficient -- but at such a large scale, this type of baseline could be difficult to evaluate or prove. We are looking for something meaningful, but also simple.

6. Since we want to capture improvements in emissions (and establishing a baseline can be difficult), we could instead evaluate the efficiency of a transport system – that is, we could evaluate emissions against other measureable parameters, like population, to see how efficiently the transport system consumes energy.
