The Kozhikode Corporation in Kerala is waiting for a report from the Centre for Water Resources Development and Management (CWRDM) to begin a carbon audit of the city. The audit will measure greenhouse gas emissions from municipal operations and city-wide activities. Once the report arrives, the corporation will have a baseline to guide climate action planning. This is one of the first municipal-level carbon audits in the state, and the results could influence how other local bodies approach emissions tracking. The report is expected to outline the scope and methodology for the audit, which will likely cover energy use, transport, waste, and other major emission sources. The corporation has not yet announced a timeline for completing the audit or for publishing the findings.
