🌍Event Carbon Calculator

Calculate the climate impact of your scientific conference

ℹ️ About this calculator

This tool helps scientific conferences and events understand and reduce their environmental impact.

This calculator provides estimates based on public data.

🎯 A few orders of magnitude

Putting everyday choices in perspective

The carbon-neutrality target is 2 tonnes CO₂e per person per year.

Where do these figures come from?

🧭How is travel distance calculated?

For each journey, you only need to enter the straight-line distance.

Mode Correction applied to the straight-line distance
🚍️ Bus × 1.5
🚗 Car, carpool × 1.3
🚇️ Subway × 1.7
🚆 Train × 1.2
🚶 Walking, 🚲 cycling, ⛴️ ferry direct distance (no correction)
✈️ Flight + 95 km (flat)
Emissions of a journey = adjusted distance × emission factor of the mode (per passenger-km) × 2 if round trip

Ferry is not covered by the Labos1point5 methodology.
