About the webinar

Climate Action Accelerator’s Carbon Footprinting Toolkit

About the toolkit and how to use it

This webinar highlights the toolkit that the Climate Action Accelerator built on four years of experience working with humanitarian actors to measure and reduce their environmental impact. The toolkit features updated data, improved methodologies, and new practical tools to make carbon footprints more accessible and actionable across the sector.

Participants were guided through the strategic background and the four key steps of conducting a footprint — from defining the scope to analysing results — while showcasing real examples and use cases. The session also introduced the Knowledge Database, a curated resource hub designed to centralise methods, examples, and references. Finally, a technical focus session demonstrated how the toolkit can be applied in practice, covering categories such as business travel, energy use, and waste management.

The presentation was followed by a Q&A session, during which we discussed how humanitarian organisations can take concrete steps to reduce their environmental and carbon impact.
