Definitions

Community-wide greenhouse gas emissions by total metric tons of CO2 equivalent, by metric tons per capita, and by metric tons per regional GDP. GDP is not reported at the City level but at the Metropolitan Statistical Area. The metric tons per GDP is therefore only an estimate for the City.
