Your climate footprint, more often called your carbon footprint, measures the impact your everyday habits have on the climate. According to the IPCC, limiting warming to 1.5 °C needs rapid and deep cuts in global greenhouse gas emissions this decade. Every reduction counts, and the first step is knowing where your own emissions come from.
With the ClimateHero climate calculator you answer questions about how you live, travel and consume. Based on your answers, it estimates all your greenhouse gas emissions and your climate footprint in tonnes of CO₂e, and shows what you already do well and which changes would make the biggest difference. The calculator works for the UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the US, the Philippines, India and many other countries.
