The latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) assessment report calls for net zero CO2 emissions by 2050 to limit warming to 1.5 degree C. As a result, many countries, cities, and industries are putting forward their greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction actions and commitments. But can the countries, cities, and industries meet these ambitious decarbonization goals without a reliable GHG inventory? This book tries to answer this question. It has been argued that there is a need to include LCA and consumption/needs-based GHG emissions as a complimentary indicator to the current approach of production-based GHG accounting emissions. As a shifting of the focus of accounting system after the Paris Agreement, consumption/needs-based approach is newly focused on a more broader accounting approach for NDCs and LDCs with a vision of all of society approach. Traditional national inventory approach to GHG emission accounting has been severely criticized as being too production process-oriented, sector-based approach, less transparent, a lack of public participation, no considerations for human needs and human factors. 606 $aEnvironmental management 606 $aGeography 606 $aEnvironmental monitoring 606 $aClimatology 606 $aSocial sciences 606 $aEnvironmental Management 606 $aGeography 606 $aEnvironmental Monitoring 606 $aClimate Sciences 606 $aSociety 615 0$aEnvironmental management. 615 0$aGeography. 615 0$aEnvironmental monitoring. 615 0$aClimatology. 615 0$aSocial sciences. 615 14$aEnvironmental Management. 615 24$aGeography. 615 24$aEnvironmental Monitoring. 615 24$aClimate Sciences. 615 24$aSociety. 676 $a333.7 700 $aKim$b Kwi-Gon$01059242 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910983065403321 996 $aLCA and Consumption$94317174 997 $aUNINA
