The LGO protocol was developed jointly by The Climate Registry, the California Climate Action Registry, the California Air Resources Board and ICLEI - Local Governments for Sustainability.</p> <h4>About LMI聽</h4> <p><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20230621160950/http://www.lmi.org/en/Home">LMI</a> is a government consulting firm committed to helping government leaders and managers reach decisions that make a difference.
