In August 2020, Abington Township was selected by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PA DEP) as one of 21 jurisdictions for it's Local Climate Action Program (LCAP) (see https://www.dep.pa.gov/Citizens/climate/Pages/Local-Climate-Action.aspx ). The PA DEP contracted with ICLEI USA to provide technical assistance for the Township to create the 2018 inventory using ICLEI ClearPath software and to draft a Climate Action Plan. The 2018 inventory was undertaken during the fall of 2020 and completed during the summer of 2021. The 2018 inventory follows the GPC protocol. Previously, through the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (DVRPC), the designated Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for the Greater Philadelphia Region, the Township relied on DVRPC for its 2005, 2010, and 2015 inventories which have been annually reported to CDP by Abington Township since 2016. DVRPC conducts regional Energy Use and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventories on a 5-year interval using its own methodology. A detailed guide outlining the methods and data sources used for DVRPC’s 2015 Energy Use and Greenhouse Gas Emissions in Greater Philadelphia, may be viewed at https://www.dvrpc.org/Reports/TM18023.pdf. Abington Township's previous inventories may be found at 1.
