SCATTER (Setting City Area Targets and Trajectories for Emissions Reduction) tool

SCATTER provides local authorities and city regions with the opportunity to standardise their greenhouse gas reporting and align to international frameworks, including the setting of targets in line with the UN Paris Climate Agreement. It is free to use for all local authorities in the UK.

The SCATTER tool

• Generates a greenhouse gas emissions inventory following the Global Protocol for City-wide Greenhouse Gas emissions for your local authority area
• Helps the understanding and development of a credible decarbonisation pathway in line with emissions reduction targets
• Provides outputs that can be used for engagement to create a collaborative carbon reduction approach for local authorities

The tool now also offers the modelling of emissions reduction pathways to 2050, based on the ambition of several emissions reduction measures that can be set by the user.
