What we did
San Jose needs to monitor its progress towards meeting its ambitious emissions reduction goals, namely its carbon neutral by 2030 target established in 2021. The City has previously completed inventories in 2008, 2014, 2017, 2019, and 2021. The 2023 inventory will inform San Jose of how its current Climate Smart San Jose Plan indicators and actions are impacting emissions and inform upscaling and revision needs in the 2025 update to the plan. San Jose has contracted ICLEI USA to complete this inventory and narrative report using the ClearPath 1.0 software.

What we achieved
ICLEI USA is developing a community-wide inventory for 2023 using ClearPath 1.0 software and narrative report to communicate the results of the inventory. To align with previous inventories, this inventory meets the requirements of the U.S. Community Protocol (USCP), Global Protocol for Community-Scale Greenhouse Gas Inventories (GPC) BASIC/BASIC+, and Common Reporting Framework (CRF). This inventory will inform San Jose of its current progress towards meeting the 2030 carbon neutral target set after development of the 2021 inventory, and inform the 2025 update to its 2018 Climate Smart San Jose Plan.
