What is this PAS about?

PAS 2070 specifies requirements for the assessment of GHG emissions of a city or an urban area using two methodologies that provide different and complementary results. The GHG emission assessment methodologies are:

  1. Direct plus supply chain (DPSC) methodology
  2. A consumption-based (CB) methodology

Who is this PAS 2070 for? 

PAS 2070 is intended for international application. It can be used by organizations or individuals assessing GHG emissions of a city or an urban area, such as municipal or national governments, academic researchers, consultants, and others.

Why should you use this PAS?

PAS 2070 aims to provide a robust and transparent method for consistent, comparable and relevant quantification, attribution and reporting of city-scale greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This will encourage more holistic GHG assessments, greater disclosure and more meaningful benchmarking to help city decision makers identify key emission sources and their drivers, the carbon dependence of their economy, and opportunities for more efficient urban supply chains.
