The Results Symposium of the The Platform for Climate Compatible Consumption in Germany on 22 November 2010 in Berlin.
At the event the findings of The Carbon Footprint Project will be shared and a discussion will take place around some of the current questions regarding reducing carbon emissions in the supply chain and communicating to consumers.
It is known that around 40% of the emissions in Germany relating to climate change are caused by the nutritional and consumer behaviour of each and every citizen.

• Which measures can organisations take to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the supply chain?
• What could useful steps towards reduction look like?
• How can consumers be well informed about climate friendly offers?
• Which form of communication appears appropriate in order to realise the potential that the consumers have for reducing CO2 emissions in their use of products and services?

Launch Partners: Institute for Applied Ecology  (Öko-Institut e.V.), Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) and THEMA1.

Members: dm-drogeriemarkt, FRoSTA, Henkel, Krombacher, Tchibo, Telekom, Tengelmann, Tetra Pak, REWE Group.

Background: Organisations from various sectors work together in the Platform for Climate Compatible Consumption in Germany. The content of the Platform builds on the results of the Product Carbon Footprint pilot project. The goal of the combined work is to identify and apply strategies that can make the maximum contribution to lowering carbon emissions. More information can be found here.
