PAS 2070 - Specification for the Assessment of Greenhouse Gas Emissions of a City Consultancy
Expert PAS 2070 consultants
What is PAS 2070?
PAS 2070 is the only global standard that measures greenhouse gas emissions for an entire city or urban area.
Using globally accepted standards for greenhouse gas (GHG) accounting and reporting, cities and urban areas assess their carbon and GHG emissions following PAS 2070 guidelines. This approach helps create accurate carbon footprints for the city. Additionally, PAS 2070 can be used to build detailed inventories of carbon emissions throughout the entire city, supporting better climate action planning.
The standard outlines requirements for assessments using two different methods, each offering unique and complementary results. These assessment methods are:
- Direct plus supply chain (DPSC) methodology.
- a consumption-based (CB) methodology.
Using PAS 2070 to measure the city’s carbon emissions helps the local authority make a verified and independently certified claim. This ensures the assessment is accurate and trustworthy.

PAS 2070 provides a clear and reliable way to measure and report greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions at the city level. It ensures consistent and comparable results, making it easier for cities to understand their carbon footprint. This approach encourages thorough assessments and greater transparency, helping city leaders spot the main sources of emissions and what drives them. By using PAS 2070, cities can better understand how much their economy depends on carbon and find opportunities to create more efficient urban supply chains.
PAS 2070 is designed for use worldwide. It helps organizations and individuals measure greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in cities or urban areas. This includes local or national governments, researchers, consultants, and more. Getting certified to PAS 2070 usually takes several months from beginning to end.
