A research paper by the Stockholm Environment Institute that develops a detailed road transport inventory for greenhouse gases and air pollutants in Kenya to analyze policy scenarios and project emissions from 2010 to 2050.

This reference manual, published by the Climate and Development Knowledge Network (CDKN) in 2016, provides a detailed framework for countries to plan the implementation of their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) under the Paris Agreement. It is structured into five core modules: governance, mitigation, adaptation, finance, and measurement, reporting, and verification (MRV). The guide offers a step-by-step approach to identifying institutional gaps, designing policies, mobilizing funding, and establishing tracking systems, supplemented by international case studies to illustrate best practices in climate action planning.

This working paper explores the differences and potential linkages between national and corporate/facility greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory systems. It argues that while these systems serve different roles—national systems tracking total country emissions and corporate systems providing localized performance data—they are often developed in isolation. The author suggests that integrating source-level data and sharing technical and institutional resources can improve data accuracy, consistency, and the overall effectiveness of climate mitigation strategies.

This working paper details a pilot project to develop and implement a greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions survey tool for the Episcopal Church in the Philippines (ECP), providing a model and guide for other faith actors to measure and reduce their environmental impact.
