We first recall a covariant formalism used to compute conserved charges in gauge invariant theories. We then study the case of gravity for two different boundary conditions, namely spatial infinity and a Brane-World boundary. The new conclusion of this analysis is that the gravitational energy (and linear and angular momentum) is a local expression if our universe is really a boundary of a five-dimensional spacetime.
