The aviation sector, which before the COVID-19 pandemic represented approximately 2.4 % of annual CO2 emissions caused by human activity and is responsible for approximately 4 % global warming, faces an urgent need for accurate (more…)

The European Commission and the European Environment Agency (EEA) have today published the second report on monitoring and outlook for zero pollution, which provides an overview of the EU's work to meet the zero pollution targets by 2030. The Commission also published today its fourth clean air outlook report . Reports show that EU policies have contributed to reducing air pollution, pesticide use and plastic waste in the sea. However, pollution levels are still too high, particularly from harmful noise, the release of microplastics into the environment, nutrient pollution and waste generation. (More on eea.europa.eu)

Carbon footprint , the amount of carbon dioxide emissions (CO ₂ ) associated with all activities of a person or other entity (e.g. building, company, country, etc.). It includes direct emissions, such as those arising from the burning of fossil fuels in production, heating and transport, as well as emissions necessary for the production of electricity associated with consumed goods and services. In addition, the concept of carbon footprint often includes emissions of other greenhouse gases, such as methane, nitrous oxide or chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs).Noelle Eckley Selin, britannica.com)

The carbon footprint is the total amount of greenhouse gases (including carbon dioxide and methane) produced by our activities. The average carbon footprint per person in the United States is 16 tons, one of the highest in the world. Globally, the average carbon footprint is close to 4 tons. To have the best chance of avoiding a 2°C rise in global temperatures, the average global carbon footprint per year must fall below 2 tonnes by 2050.

The reduction of individual carbon footprints from 16 tons to 2 tons will not happen overnight! By making small changes in our behavior, such as eating less meat, moving less, and drying our clothes, we can begin to make big changes. (More on nature.com)

Luxembourg's Sustainable Development Council on Tuesday launched a carbon footprint calculator for children and teenagers to help them better understand their personal habits and how they affect the environment.

Web application Däin CO2 calculator aims to "reach young people in their language", said Jacques Pir for Luxembourg Times . "It's not about pointing the finger at them," but instead giving them something to act on.

“Students are aware [of the climate crisis], but in the school curriculum it is not considered as a subject – like maths or science. This is not the time to deal with such topics,” Pir said, adding that the intention was not to “burden” students completely, but to show how they can begin to contribute to mitigation efforts.

Each of us leaves a climatic footprint with our lives. Do you know how big it is in the average Slovak, Ethiopian or European? Play and find out. To slow down global warming, we need to reduce CO2 emissions and neutralize them as soon as possible. For this, not only systemic changes are necessary, but also changes in one's own attitudes and habits. We have prepared a tool with which you can easily find out your climate footprint. Subsequently, you can reevaluate your own lifestyle, its impact on the climate and think about the possibilities of how to repay your own debt to our Earth. "We can respond to these crises by retreating to isolationism, protectionism and exploitation, or we can see in them a real chance for change," Pope Francis responded to the need to protect the environment. Get to know your own CO2 production. The climate calculator will help you with this. Find out how much CO2 emissions you produce and embark on the path to a considerate and sustainable lifestyle.

A free calculator created by a team led by the University of Leeds - downloadable as an Excel document from figshare website – will enable breweries to find out to what extent their operations are sustainable. There is wide variation in the carbon emissions produced by craft brewers, with packaging playing a key role. Beer distributed in 20 liter steel kegs has a carbon footprint seven times smaller than that distributed in 330 ml glass bottles – 205 versus 1,483 grams of CO2 equivalent per liter of beer. As independent brewers show signs of a comeback after lockdown, researchers want to help these small and medium-sized businesses develop best practices when it comes to sustainability and reducing carbon emissions. A research paper accompanying the carbon calculator - Development of an open source carbon footprint calculator for the UK Craft Brewing value chain - was published in the Journal of Cleaner Production.

How much carbon dioxide will my long-haul flight emit? Does switching to a different type of aircraft affect the amount of CO2 released? Can an alternative stop significantly reduce emissions? Such questions can be answered in a new way in Travelport. A new feature in the booking platform Travelport+ automatically calculates the individual carbon footprint of air travelers, making eco-friendly travel easier and more transparent. This is made possible by the so-called "Travel Impact Model" (TIM), which uses publicly available data to individually calculate CO2 emissions depending, for example, on the flight route, aircraft type, seat configuration, load and other factors. The model was developed by Google and the non-profit initiative Travalyst, which includes Booking, Skyscanner, Tripadvisor and Visa.

The Outdoor Advertising Union (UPE) presents its 'adOOHcc' tool capable of measuring the CO2 emissions of 'print and digital' outdoor advertising campaigns. What if we calculated the carbon footprint of each advertising campaign? In addition to visual pollution, advertising posters can be a source of carbon emissions generated by unnecessary printing, excessive digital consumption or filming methods. Recognizing this problem, the Outdoor Advertising Union created adOOHcc (Advertising Out Of Home Carbon Calculator), developed with Axionable. This calculator is used to measure CO2 emissions from print and digital outdoor advertising campaigns. adOOHcc is to be integrated into future "climate treaties" introduced in Climate and Resilience Act . These are intended to materialize the commitments of advertising professionals in favor of reducing CO2 emissions. For more responsible advertising, actors in the sector must produce and design editorial or advertising content within the framework of these contracts with regard to their ecological and social footprint.

This web based carbon calculator was created by Wholegrain Digital to help inspire and educate people to create a zero carbon internet. It is operated using renewable energy. The Internet uses a lot of electricity. 416.2 TWh per year to be exact. To give you some perspective, that's more than the whole of the UK. From data centers to transmission networks to the billions of connected devices we hold in our hands, it all consumes electricity and in turn produces carbon emissions equal to or greater than the global aviation industry. Phew!

We've developed the first methodology to calculate a website's carbon emissions, and this free website carbon calculator is here to help raise awareness and inspire a more sustainable internet. If you need help with a more detailed analysis or need help reducing emissions from your web project, our team will be happy to discuss your requirements. (More on websitecarbon.com)

Food currently accounts for 30 % of greenhouse gas emissions. It's the same as transportation. To put it in perspective, eating a steak, fries and salad releases as much CO2 into the atmosphere as driving a medium-sized gasoline car for 60 km. But not all food on the plate has the same carbon footprint. The lion's share is beef.
