Project Legacy – ongoing available resources for organisations | 53
Project Legacy – ongoing available resources for organisations Clear About Carbon has produced a series of helpful resources for managers and organisations that will remain freely available online after the formal end of the project in the website: www.clearaboutcarbon.com/resources These include:
Carbon literacy e-learning for procurers A free carbon literacy e-learning resource to help public and private sector employees understand climate change and carbon reduction in the context of procurement. This learning resource is now also part of the Defra-led National Sustainable Public Procurement Programme, and was produced in collaboration with the Clear About Carbon team and the Department of Health.
Green Gauge, the Carbon Calculator for businesses Developed in collaboration with Superfast Cornwall in partnership with Visit Cornwall and CoaST, this online tool helps businesses manage and minimise their carbon footprint. The tool measures the carbon impact from business activities associated with electricity, heating, travel (cars, flights, etc) and waste.
Carbon Jargon Buster Do you know your carbon offsets from your carbon footprint? Cut through the jargon with our beginner’s guide to the words and phrases that every leading business should know.
‘Show me the Carbon’ tool A quick, easy and visually intuitive online tool designed to provide an understanding of how everyday choices, from the emails you send to the transport you take, affect your carbon footprint – and find out how you can make a difference. The tool was inspired by, and developed in collaboration with, Mike Berners-Lee, author of the book “How bad are bananas? The carbon footprint of everything”.
Case Studies A series of downloadable teaching cases produced by the University of Exeter Business School, based on real life examples of carbon management problems, that can be used in a range of learning contexts, from professional development programmes to further and higher education settings. Additionally, a series of short case studies with examples of success stories from Cornish organisations is also available, produced by Cornwall Development Company.
Carbon Management courses In addition to the resources above, Cornwall College will also continue to provide accredited courses on carbon management. Aimed at managers and organisations wanting to gain an appreciation of the legal, business and ethical imperatives for carbon management, it also provides practical skills on how to measure, monitor and reduce carbon emissions.
