Overview
Climate change is our main environmental issue for the beginning of the 21st century. It is an issue for all human societies around the world. For some, it is only an economic matter. For others, it is a public health problematic. For the unfortunate ones, it is already a major concern, as they suffer the early consequences of the global warming.
The Life Clim’Foot project is a project about carbon footprint of organizations (CFO). The European Union needs a standardized and operational methodology to estimate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and take part in the efforts to limit the global warming to +2°, as stated by the Paris Agreement.
You will find here some informations about the greenhouse effect and why it is important to limit the increasing temperatures. You will learn here what you could do to evaluate the risks and the opportunities of the low-carbon transition ahead of us, and how you can ensure the existence of your organization or the alignment of your country with the world of tomorrow.
