Did you know we have a dedicated powers and duties tool?
Available to LG Inform Plus subscribers, it provides information on what current legislation gives English and Welsh councils the power to do and what it requires them to do in law. Advanced searching and filtering options make it easy to find specific powers and duties based on legislation, business function and keyword, and results are easily exported in commonly used formats.

The Greenhouse Gas Protocol methodology accounts and reports on the seven greenhouse gases covered by the Kyoto Protocol - carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PCFs), sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) and nitrogen trifluoride (NF3) and expresses these in a standard unit of CO2e, or carbon dioxide equivalent. The idea is to express the impact of each different greenhouse gas in terms of the amount of CO2 that would create the same amount of warming. That way, a carbon footprint consisting of lots of different greenhouse gases can be expressed as a single number.
To calculate CO2e, consumption data from the authority for the given activity is multiplied by the conversion factors set annually by Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS) https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/government-conversion-factors-for-company-reporting.
The authority has operational control over a service if it has full authority to introduce and implement its operating policies.
This data is collected via the Local Partnerships Carbon Accounting Tool, it is a voluntary submission and as per the Green House Gas Protocol (Corporate Standard) methodology and latest UK Government Guidelines authorities can submit data either on a operational control boundary methodology or an operational control boundary methodology so not all authorities will have data.
