[open-sustainability] Data on CO2 Reduction Initiatives, and how successful they've been

[Townsend J.H.]

Thanks Monica! Nice combination of open crowdsourcing approach with reference to a verifying authority for carbon reduction figures.

Alberto, do ECODES have any expansion plans for Carbonpedia beyond Spain? (Also, any news on their magazine edition on open data and sustainability?)

Hi Jack,

Carbonpedia<http://www.ecodes.org/carbonpedia/acceso-a-la-base-de-datos> is a database on Carbonfootprint for companies, products and events. So for companies, if it's recorded the data of several years you can see if there is a CO2 reduction or not related with this company. Example<http://www.ecodes.org/carbonpedia/base-de-datos/2-dkv-seguros>
In the coming moths we want to improve the visibility of this information.

Thanks,

________________________________

My thoughts last night were around discovering, mapping and comparing such initiatives around the world.  Reading your message reminds me that there should be a focus on some outcome.  How about "design for success" i.e. use what we collectively know about science, design, etc. to map out a new CO2 reducing strategy.  Not a policy target but one or two simple measures like Cool Biz.  Learn from what others have done, understand what contributed most to success.    If this were university led we could play on the two meanings of "smart".   This does seem like something we could start at the V&A and continue working on afterwards.
