34 MOVING TOWARDS A CLIMATE NEUTRAL UN

The 2008 UN greenhouse gas inventory comprises data from the all the UN agencies, funds and programmes. This annex presents brief summaries for the total UN climate footprint as well as results per organization. This inventory data are preliminary, unverifi ed results which may change, following the verifi cation phase.

Number of staff in the organization. The staff number provided in the inventory may diff er from fi gures for staff numbers in other offi cial documents. The reason for this is that the number reported in the inventory may include permanent staff , short-term staff , consultants, interns and other personnel that contribute to the greenhouse gas footprint. In some cases, an explanation for the diff erence in numbers of staff or additional underlying assumptions is provided in a footnote.

Locations. Most organizations have offi ces in a number of diff erent lo- cations. The world map indicates headquarters and regional and fi eld offi ces where appropriate.

Air travel per staff member (CO2

). Average CO2

emissions from air travel per personnel. Please note that the underlying number of staff is not limited to permanent staff members, but can also include con- sultants and other personnel reported by the orga- nization. Air travel per staff member (km). Average distance traveled by air. The underlying number of staff is not limited to permanent staff members, but can also in- clude consultants and other personnel reported by the organization. Building-related fuel combustion: GHG emissions from the combustion of fossil fuels in boilers, furnac- es and other types of stationary fuel technologies owned or controlled by the organization. In many cases heating falls into this category, but it could also encompass electricity generation from a generator operated by the agency. Electricity: GHG emissions from purchased electric- ity for buildings and operations controlled by the organization. Emissions per staff member. The average CO2

eq

emissions per personnel. Please note that the un- derlying number of staff is not limited to permanent

staff members, but can also include consultants and other personnel reported by the organization. Heat and steam: GHG emissions from purchasing steam or heat for equipment or operations controlled by the organization. Offi ce related emissions per m2 lated CO2

eq emissions by the organization per surface

area in square meters. Buildings-related emissions in- clude emissions from four diff erent sources: “Purchased heat and steam”, “power generation”, “purchased elec- tricity “and “refrigeration and air-conditioning (RAC)” as defi ned in the UN Greenhouse Gas Calculator. Optional emission. GHG emissions from sources outside the UN minimum agreed boundary, e.g. staff commuting, freight and military operations. Refrigerants: Fugitive emissions of refrigerants dur- ing installation, maintenance and operational leakage of equipment such as air-conditioners or fridges. Road and rail travel: Emissions arising from travel in owned or leased vehicles and public ground transport (can include taxis to and from airports for example). Total emissions. Total amount of GHG emissions emit- ted in 2008 by the organization according to the meth- odology and boundary agreed by the UN.
