CLIMATE CHANGE

Why businesses need and want to respond

to climate change?

Is there a competitive advantage or otheropportunity in being proactive? Any

examples of such companies?

GWP = GLOBAL WARMING POTENTIAL

GWP is a relative measure of how much

heata greenhouse gas traps in the

atmosphere. It comparesthe amount ofheat trapped by a certain mass of the gas

in question to the amount of heat trapped

by a similar mass of carbon dioxide, CO2.

GREENHOUSE GAS PROTOCOL

It is an internationally accepted accountingmethod for measuring and reporting greenhouse

gas emissions

Used by companies, governments and non-

governmental organizations Tracking of the six main greenhouse gases

Categorizing major emission sources into 3 (see

CALCULATING GHG EMISSIONS

(activity data) x (emission factor) = GHG emissions

Activi ty data e.g. kWh for electr icity, km/miles for

transportation, m2 for space, fuel type and amount like

liters/gallons),

Emission factors converting activity data from a businessinto GHG emission values (usually in kg or ton of CO 2

equivalent)

Long-haul air travel GHG emission produced by one

passenger travelling 1000 km by airplane would be:

1000 km x 0.11 kg CO2/km = 0.11 tons CO2

CARBON FOOTPRINT

A carbon footprintis a measure of the impact our

activities have on the environment, and in particular

climate change.

It relates to the amount of greenhouse gases produced in

our day-to-day lives through burning fossil fuels for

electricity, heating and transportation etc.

The carbon footprint is a measurement of all greenhouse

gases we individually produce and has units of tonnes (or

kg) of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO 2).

How to reduce GHG emissons?

Discuss in small groups (5 people) and useinternet with ipads for 15 minutes and try to find

practical examples of ways how companies have

reduced their GHG emissions in different

businesses.

Think about energy use, transportation,

renewable energy sources, operational

efficiency, material inputs, upstream GHG

reductions from suppliers and contractors and

downstream reductions (e.g. from customers) Present your example to the others
