The Importance of Quantification
Establish a firm baseline against which future
action can be evaluated Compare the impact of alternatives, beforeimplementation
Develop analytical evidence to secure political andcommunity support for actions Illustrate the critical role local governments play in
reducing emissions Demonstrate and monitor progress towardsachieving emission reduction goals
