Inventory data gives us a baseline understanding of our community's carbon footprint. The data here inform our priorities and help us track and measure progress.

vision

We envision a vibrant and resilient Missoula community that has established the necessary metrics and carbon emissions inventory to track, report, and make progress toward Climate Smart goals. 

goals

Our community will create a framework for conducting a community wide carbon emissions inventory, establish the necessary infrastructure to complete successive inventory updates with replicable methodology, and work with each bucket to create appropriate metrics that will track the progress of mitigation and resiliency projects and initiatives.

key accomplishments
  • Community greenhouse gas inventory completed in 2017 (see below for more details)
from our 2015 action plan 

Our 2015 Community Climate Action Plan identified strategies for a 11 buckets, including Inventory and Metrics.  In 2015, the top priority was to conduct a community greenhouse gas inventory, which we completed in the spring of 2017. 
​
​ We are working closely with local government to gather the necessary data for future inventories, as well as supplemental metrics, to advance and guide our work.
