The ‘Cut a Tonne in ’21’ climate campaign aims to help people reduce their emissions, and measure their progress against the Paris Agreement goals.
Giki Zero, a free online tool, shows users their carbon footprint based on a questionnaire around their daily habits, from driving frequency to electricity use.
It offers a choice of more than 120 steps people can take to shrink their contribution to climate warming.
