This Resolution requests the Department of Health to consider incorporating an analysis of Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions into its ongoing efforts to track emissions and its upcoming greenhouse gas inventory report. Scope 1 emissions are direct emissions from sources the Department controls, Scope 2 emissions are indirect emissions from purchased energy like electricity, and Scope 3 emissions are indirect emissions from the broader value chain, such as travel and consumer activities. This expanded analysis is deemed crucial for a complete understanding of emissions sources and trends, identifying reduction opportunities across sectors, and providing valuable information for informed decision-making on climate change mitigation and achieving the state's net-zero goals.
