11 | Welcome to the COP28 carbon footprint calculator | |||||||||||||
12 | ||||||||||||||
13 | This year, in 2023, COP28 is taking place in Dubai, UAE. There is a collective responsibility to minimise | |||||||||||||
14 | the carbon footprint of the conference to ensure that, in working to combat climate change, we do not inadvertently | |||||||||||||
15 | exacerbate it. | |||||||||||||
16 | ||||||||||||||
17 | In 2021, international travel accounted for 60% of the emissions associated with COP26. This tool allows visitors | |||||||||||||
18 | from the UK to calculate the carbon footprint of their own travel to Dubai for the purposes of minimising | |||||||||||||
19 | and offsetting their personal climatic impact. | |||||||||||||
20 | ||||||||||||||
21 | Please follow the steps below to get underway. | |||||||||||||
22 | ||||||||||||||
23 | ||||||||||||||
24 | Step 1: | Before you start, you will need your own copy of this spreadsheet to personalise. Make your | ||||||||||||
25 | own copy by selecting File > Make a copy. | |||||||||||||
26 | ||||||||||||||
27 | Step 2: | Working within your own copy, enter the information requested in the 'User' tab. | ||||||||||||
28 | ||||||||||||||
29 | Step 3: | View a selection of routes and their associated carbon footprints, customised to your | ||||||||||||
30 | information, in the 'Results' tab. | |||||||||||||
31 | ||||||||||||||
32 | Step 4: | Consider the possibilities for offsetting your carbon footprint in the 'Offsetting' tab. | ||||||||||||
33 | ||||||||||||||
