4.1.4 Per Capita <strong>Emissions</strong><br />
Per capita emissions can be a useful metric for measuring progress in reducing greenhouse gases and for comparing<br />
one community’s emissions with neighboring cities and against regional and national averages. That said, due to<br />
differences in emission inventory methods, it can be problematic to produce directly comparable per capita<br />
emissions numbers, and one must be cognizant <strong>of</strong> a margin <strong>of</strong> error when comparing figures between jurisdictions.<br />
