Summary

  • The GHG Emission Calculator serves as an educational tool that enables students to understand both theoretical concepts and practical applications of greenhouse gas accounting at an organisational level. Through hands-on experience, students develop practice emissions assessment, which trains their skills in data manipulation and critical thinking abilities, acting as a diagnostic tool leading to emission reduction opportunities.

How to use

  • Faculty can integrate the UNFCCC GHG Emission Calculator into coursework through both individual assignments and group projects. To implement this tool, instructors should first know about GHG accounting fundamentals and the calculator’s functionality. If applicable, faculty should prepare structured exercises with dummy datasets. Alternatively, faculty can also prepare a scripted demonstration of the tool. 

Teaching format tip
