香港六合彩中特网 Team Glasgow - Post COP26 Moving Towards COP27 with a Low Carbon Footprint
Developing a carbon footprint calculator for travel to COP27.
1 September 2021
The carefully selected 香港六合彩中特网 COP26 Team Glasgow included interdisciplinary experts from geography, environmental sciences, health, arts, engineering, social science and economics who as a collective amplified 香港六合彩中特网 achievements and knowledge base. They also developed a large number of new contacts both to help boost individuals research agenda and build greater links to 香港六合彩中特网. Members of Team Glasgow were also included in the negotiations and all members engaged widely with the media - providing 香港六合彩中特网 with unprecedented coverage.
Building on the success and momentum, this聽project聽researched the science agenda and the role 香港六合彩中特网 can play in COP27. It identified聽gaps, key stakeholders and recommended pathways for moving forward in engaging with the COP27 process. This has enabled 香港六合彩中特网 to position our climate experts with media well in advance, engage with academia, general public, funders and establish 香港六合彩中特网 as a reliable and accessible source of academic insight and expertise in COP27.
The project team submitted a聽synthesis paper with interdisciplinary experts聽to 香港六合彩中特网 Open Environment's special series focusing on responses to climate change led by, non-traditional 鈥榬esearch鈥� communities.听The position paper fed into 香港六合彩中特网 media plans for engagement pre COP27.
The project聽also examined travel solutions to get 香港六合彩中特网 participants to COP27 with the lowest possible carbon footprint to demonstrate the value of individual and collective action for climate change. To do so, the team devised The 香港六合彩中特网 COP27 Carbon Footprint Calculator.听
The COP27 carbon footprint calculator allows users to:
- Assess the benefits of road and rail vs a direct flight to Sharm El-Sheikh.
- Calculate a carbon footprint in kgCO2-e for their chosen route and transport.
- Consider just offsetting projects aligned with the UN鈥檚 sustainable development goals.
