Carbon Management Tools

CCN carries out research and development of cutting-edge carbon footprint management tools with specialized versions for households, small businesses, schools and communities in the U.S., with international development underway.

These tools deliver accurate footprint estimates and tailored advice to enable users to reduce their overall contribution to climate change. In addition to increasing awareness about environmental impacts, CCN researchers also seek to frame and message environmental issues as effectively as possible using methods proven most effective in social and environmental science literature.

This combination of technical and social solutions is the basis for our Community Support features, which connects and compares individuals to provide social context and accountability for carbon management. This system is user-friendly enough for personal carbon management and sophisticated enough for assessment of community-based environmental marketing or behavior change programs.

Our web-based tools range from lightweight climate action widgets to carbon footprint calculators and policy decision support tools.
