Data collection for Carbon Reporting
Climate Challenge Fund projects vary hugely in scope, approach and activities, but they all have one thing in common - they must deliver a measurable reduction in carbon emissions in their community.
We provide training and support to help you understand how to use the new carbon reporter and what data needs to be collected to be able to fill in the carbon reporter.
The carbon reporter is similar to the look and feel of the carbon estimator that you filled in when you submitted your application. You can view a recorded webinar that covers both the CCF estimator and reporter here.
Training opportunities
Check the events section of the CCF website for webinar training opportunities.
Data Collection Sheets
Data collection sheets have been created for every theme to enable you to collect all the relevant data to enter into the carbon reporter. Please familiarise yourself with these and if you have any questions please get in touch with your CCF Development Officer.
