Search for: [Abstract = "This paper analyses the uncertainties of carbon accounting on the city scale, using the example of the Red Sea resort town of El Gouna. The estimated value of El Gouna`s carbon footprint for the year 2014 is 14.3 tCO2eq\/\(year\*capita\). Third Scope emissions constitute the majority of El Gouna\?s carbon footprint. Varying their underlying assumptions only slightly can lead to alterations of the results of more than 50%, questioning the robustness of the findings. To increase the robustness and the comparability of carbon accounting across cities, this paper suggests emphasizing Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, while limiting the role of Scope 3 emissions."]
