Under the carbon reduction scheme, local authorities will be responsible for reporting at least 90% of their total emissions, including state-funded schools and academies.

Indicator 185, of the new Local Government Performance Framework in England, will require schools to provide their local authority with the necessary emissions data to fulfil this obligation.

The statutory local government performance indicator EEF/001a will require schools in Wales to report their emissions data to their local authority.

Local authorities should already be collecting information from schools that fall within their responsibility to the CRC.
