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.
