Project Idea Description
This project aims to help individuals reduce their carbon footprint through a series of conferences. The idea is to start with a carbon assessment of one's situation, which will then allow one to understand which levers of action are relevant, and then initiate a personalised action plan with the help of thematic conferences.
By using the group effect, it will be possible to count the CO2 gains made collectively and thus boost the motivation of participants. It is also an opportunity to share good practices.
We aim to provide factual, meaningful and understandable information on the following elements
- Definition of greenhouse gases and their impact on the environment (globally & especially locally) + a brief history.
- How to calculate your carbon footprint?
- Create your own personalised action plan, based on your specific situation, to reduce your carbon footprint.
- Examine the following themes in detail to identify ways of taking action via eco-gestures: energy consumption (electrical and thermal), mobility, leisure and shopping, digital and food.
Principles
- Anonymisation of results to ensure data confidentiality
- Scientific basis for quantifying carbon impacts
- Replicability of the operation in other municipalities
- Positive labelling, group knock-on effect
Benefits and objectives
- Communication and awareness-raising tool as part of a climate plan
- Feedback on inhabitants' habits and their precise needs as well as their current obstacles
- Monitoring of the CO2 reduction: measurable once the action plans are established
- Highlighting of local businesses for shopping purposes
- 10 to 30% reduction in CO2 emissions per family
- Reduction in energy consumption
Key Steps :
1. Creation of the financing plan
2. Creation of the course content
3. Creation of communication materials
4. Communication and publicity
5. Registration of participants and scheduling of workshops and conferences
6. Events and follow-up of the citizens
