Key Findings and Recommendations

Key Findings (1) • Vermont's current inventory methods are generally consistent with guidelines from the EPA, IPCC and with the practices of California, New York, and Massachusetts. They are also consistent with the primary inventory methods for Oregon and Minnesota. • Vermont can demonstrate leadership in the development of an actionable Climate Action Plan, and its implementation based on the current GHG inventory, and its methods. • Vermont's current sector-based inventory method does not represent, nor claim to be representing, life cycle accounting of greenhouse gas emissions. Upstream and lifecycle emissions can be analyzed to inform decision making without necessarily including them in the Inventory. 7 CADMUS
