baseline. DEM is proposing to further align the inventory with national and international reporting guidelines. The 1990 baseline is a critical dataset used to benchmark Rhode Island’s progress towards the emission reduction mandates outlined in 2021 Act on
Climate (R.I. General Laws § 42-6.2-2). The document detailing these improvements is attached to this email and can also be found at
