Climate Neutrality

Handprint projects

Oeschger-Zentrum für Klimaforschung

CO2eq handprint projects are planned in addition to abatement and offsetting initiatives in order to make a contribution to climate protection in the amount of other emissions (except air travel). Unlike with the CO2eq footprint, the focus of the CO2eq handprint is not on avoiding or reducing the personal climate-harming activities associated with emissions, rather the steps a person can take to have a positive impact on the global climate. Awareness-raising measures and an idea contest are being planned to identify suitable projects. These could include investments in new technologies, climate protection projects, research projects on reducing CO2eq, possibly projects on how to adapt to the consequences of climate change, social innovations, etc. Further information will be added here on an ongoing basis.
