Online event
About this Event
While countries have long experiences on Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) to set climate targets, the importance of individual actions should not be overlooked. This webinar introduces the concept of Personally Determined Contributions (PDCs), developed by Nobel Laureate Rae Kwon Chung, to systematically account for personal climate actions.
Discussion Topics:

– Practical considerations: product carbon labeling, cost implications for consumers
– Financial mechanisms: dedicated funds for carbon-conscious spending
– Consumption-based approaches to measuring personal carbon footprints
Speakers:
– Rae Kwon Chung – Nobel Peace Prize Laureate (IPCC 2007), Chairman of The Global Energy Prize International Award Committee;
– Daniele Pernigotti – CEO of Aequilibria Srl-SB, Convenor on ISO/TC 207/SC7/WG8 on the revision of Carbon Footprint of Product standard.
Intended Audience:
• Policy makers
• Sustainability professionals
• Researchers
• NGO representatives
• Concerned citizens
