The publication presents an analysis of the baseline inventory of greenhouse gas emissions by sector in city of Vidin, based on the assessment of final energy use in the sectors, according to the methodology for developing a Sustainable Energy and Climate Action Plan (SECAP) in the framework of the Covenant of Mayors. The GHG emissions inventory enables local governments to understand the emissions contribution of different activities; to determine where to direct mitigation efforts and to create strategies to reduce GHG emissions and track their progress. The article presents the results of the analysis of the base inventory of emissions in the city of Vidin, including the description of the methodology and key factors affecting emissions in the sectors "Residential buildings", "Public and Tertiary buildings", "Transport", "Public lighting" and "Industry", considering possible strategies and measures to reduce carbon footprints, including the amount of emissions gases. This analysis aims to provide a basis for developing sustainable policies in the municipality aimed at achieving the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 40% by 2030 by identifying and planning climate change mitigation and adaptation actions.
