WWF - Carbon Footprint Calculator

A carbon footprint is the total amount of greenhouse gases (like carbon dioxide and methane) released into the atmosphere because of our daily activities.

Every time we turn on a light, drive to school, or throw something in the trash, we contribute to our carbon footprint.

School events — whether a sports day, an annual function, or an art exhibition — also have a carbon footprint. The electricity used, food served or wasted, decoration used, and so on all leave an environmental impact.

But what if your school could track and reduce that impact?

Here’s WWF-India’s innovative Carbon Footprint Calculator for Schools!

Use this simple digital tool to plan your school event, make choices that reduce the event’s overall carbon footprint, and earn recognition from WWF-India as a Climate Champion School. Follow these steps:

Step 1: Plan your school event. Enter details to get an estimate of the emissions your event might generate. Plus, you’ll get simple, practical suggestions on how to cut the carbon for a Carbon Conscious event. Click here to fill up the pre-event form.
Step 2: Record the event’s environmental impact. After your school event, enter data on transportation used, electricity consumed, and other parameters, to calculate the emissions generated. You’ll also get insights on how to do better next time! Click here to fill up the post-event form.
Step 3: Earn recognition as a Climate Champion School that hosts Carbon Conscious events: Schools that actively use the calculator to track and reduce their emissions generated at school events will be recognised by WWF-India as Climate Champion Schools.
