What’s included a company’s carbon footprint? How to measure corporate Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions? Every business leader should know what to consider as part of their company footprint, this video explains what’s included.

Often we tend to think about facilities, energy use, and perhaps the fleet – but these account only for a part of a company’s total carbon footprint. The Sustainability Speaker Susanna Hasenoehrl helps you to better understand this, walking you through the concept of Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions.

Scope 1 and 2 emissions arise from a company’s operational activities, such as a production facility, or heating or cooling an office. These can be controlled somewhat easily – for example, by switching to renewable energy, or to an electric fleet.

So what about Scope 3? Pukka, a Unilever brand, reports that 49% of their emissions come from boiling the kettle, to make a ‘cuppa’. This is an example of Scope 3 emissions, which are more indirect – yet related to the usage of a company’s products and services.

For most companies, Scope 3 makes up most of their carbon footprint. Scope 3 emissions can be quite difficult to measure, as it includes things like emissions from waste – when a product is disposed of – the supply chain, outsourced activities, and even business travel.

Nonetheless: when you come across a company’s carbon disclosure, do ask whether Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions are included.

By utilizing a mobile capture concept, University of Michigan researchers have designed a way to capture 70-80 percent of all CO2 emissions from truck exhaust pipes. The effort aims to help curb climate change.

Climate change is a pressing issue, and carbon dioxide emissions greatly contribute. This process being developed to collect heavy duty exhaust will help reduce emissions and is a renewable process. Once capacity in the tank is reached, steam or hot gas can be used to recycle the materials and repeat the cycle over and over.

This video features Christina Reynolds, PhD Candidate in Civil and Environmental Engineering, and Christian M. Lastoskie, Associate Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering.

The global food system is responsible for between 20-30% of greenhouse gas emissions. How can we produce rice, a food staple eaten by over half the world’s population — in a way that uses fewer resources and regenerates nature? More and more farmers around the world are adopting an agroecological approach called the System of Rice Intensification (SRI), which reduces water use, methane production, and the use of chemicals, while providing better yields and reducing labour for rice farmers.

Water is vital to our existence. It is no doubt that we need water to live, and it is expected that demand for water will only increase as our population grows. But can we meet this demand while ensuring that we reach our carbon emission targets in the future? The water sector contributes to about 2% of greenhouse gas emissions, and while this is not significantly large, it is still a meaningful amount.

AECOM’s Scott Dunn, Chief Strategy Officer, Asia, and Beverley Stinson, Chief Executive, Global Business Line ‒ Water, join this discussion at the Singapore International Water Week 2022. They explore innovative and smart solutions on how we can potentially reduce carbon emissions in the water sector for a future with more water and less carbon.

We all know that cows (and other ruminants animals like sheep) emit methane, a strong greenhouse gas. But this methane is part of a natural, or biogenic, carbon cycle where the methane breaks down into CO2 and water after about 12 years. The grass then absorbs the CO2 through photosynthesis, cows eat the grass and the cycle continues.

The CO2 from burning fossil fuel on the other hand, stays in the atmosphere for potentially 1,000 years

This animation shows how the environmental impact of methane emissions from cows is fundamentally different to the carbon dioxide from fossil fuels.

In Australia methane emissions from agriculture are falling due to the innovative emissions reduction practices and technologies that are making the red meat and livestock industry part of the climate solution.

Delta’s Managing Director of Sustainability Amelia Deluca commits to setting science-based targets to reduce Delta’s greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, Delta has pledged it will fly on 10% sustainable aviation fuel by 2030 to help create a better world for all.

Global Citizen Live calls for action to halt climate change and for wealthy countries to deliver on the 0B climate pledge, B for famine relief, and COVID-19 vaccine justice for all. On Sept. 25, 2021, over 60M COVID-19 vaccines, 157M trees, and more than US.1B in commitments to climate, famine, and COVID-19 response efforts were announced as part of the partner-led campaign. The Global Citizen Live campaign continues in the lead-up to the G20 Summit and the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26) later this year.

We are working on the ACT’s Climate Strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Here are a few ways that Canberrans are playing their part and contributing to a more sustainable city.

Greenhouse gas emissions are continuing to increase, exacerbating the challenge world leaders face in preventing the impacts of climate change from worsening, the United Nations warns in its latest climate report. https://abc7ne.ws/3JvtxNU
