Quantified Climate Action Measures Directory – Local Directory
Return to the Quantified Climate Action Measures Directory
About the Local Directory
The Local Quantified Climate Action Measures Directory presents a searchable list of quantified greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction measures from 32 published local climate action plans and the tools used to quantify them. All measures listed in the directory are summarized from publicly available documents (e.g., a climate action plan, a supporting technical appendix, or an associated report) and are based on EPA’s understanding of those plans. Any errors or inaccuracies within these summaries are EPA’s own. Inclusion in the directory does not imply EPA’s endorsement of any specific measure type, quantification tool, or a measure-level quantification approach. Similarly, the absence of a measure type, tool, or quantification approach should not preclude state, local, tribal, and territorial governments from considering them as part of a climate action planning exercise.
The directory has two components:
- A summary table presenting the total number of quantified measures identified in each of eight economic sectors (Agriculture, Commercial and residential buildings, Electricity, Industry, Natural and working lands, Oil & natural gas systems, Transportation, and Waste and materials management), as well as the number of measures quantified by each tool in each sector.
- A searchable and sortable table of example quantified GHG reduction measures. The table includes the following information for each measure: description, type, sector(s), tool used to quantify the GHG emission reductions, jurisdiction, and references to source documents.
How to Use the Local Directory
The summary table and quantified measures table present different options to identify example measures and quantification tools that may be of interest to state, local, tribal, and territorial agencies who are developing climate action plans.
- Search to limit the measures displayed in the table. Use search terms to limit the table to measures with matching terms. The summary table may suggest searches of interest to isolate uses of a tool across an individual sector (e.g., entering “Excel based custom built tool electricity” will reduce the table to the electricity sector measures quantified by an excel-based custom built tool)
- Filter and sort to limit the measures displayed in the table. Users may sort the directory contents by any of the columns displayed and may also limit the measures displayed by filtering the table for specific measure types, sectors, quantification tools, and jurisdictions. Filters can also be combined with each other and with search terms to isolate applications of a quantification tool to a particular measure type or sector.
- Export lists of quantified climate action measures. Use the CSV button (upper right of the table) to download a spreadsheet of the directory information displayed.
Local Quantification Tools Summary Table
This summary table displays the following information from EPA’s review of local climate action planning documents: the total number of quantified GHG reduction measures identified in each of eight sectors and, for each sector, disaggregated sub-totals of the number of measures quantified by individual tools in that sector. “Excel-based custom-built tool” describes a collection of distinct, independently developed tools with that incorporate different data sets and varying levels of functionality. Information regarding the underlying data used by these tools as well as the other listed tools was not captured in the plan review.
