INTRODUCTION TO COMMUNITY CARBON FOOTPRINTING
Filed under: Training Information, Communication & Research
What is Community Carbon Footprinting (CCF), and how is it done?
This event will provide a basic understanding of what CCF is, how to get started, what support is available for communities carrying out such a project, and the variety of methodologies that exist in order to calculate a carbon footprint. It will explain the difference between carbon footprinting and eco footprinting, and give you the tools required to calculate carbon footprints whether for communities or individuals, using real case studies showing different styles of CCF and how to calculate real carbon footprints.Carrying out a CCF is an excellent way of raising environmental awareness in your community and provides a baseline from which other projects can be developed. The event is aimed at those who already have some experience of working with communities but are new to carbon footprinting. This might include community group members, individuals and organisations who support community groups, community champions, local councillors and others who want to identify and reduce their impact on the environment.
