Evansville is one of 13 cities in the state collecting the information as part of a new Indiana University project called the Resilience Cohort, creating an inventory that takes stock of how cities may contribute to climate change.
The project was created by IU's Environmental Resilience Institute. It gives participating cities such as Evansville access to technical resources, a peer network and training through a nonprofit specializing in helping local governments with emissions inventories.
Ellen Ketterson, institute director, said the inventories are a critical early step in reducing carbon emissions and improving air quality.
