Carbon footprint for economic sectors, new proposal in the third conference series EcoClima UB
What is the carbon footprint in the industrial sectors worldwide? Are we aware of the amount of carbon we release into the atmosphere? How can we calculate the ecological footprint of human activity on the planet? Analysing the impact of carbon footprint -an indicator of greenhouse effect gas emissions in the planet- through the different economic and industrial sectors is the proposal for the Third Conference Series EcoClima UB, to be held on May 24, at 10 a.m., in the Aula Magna of the Faculty of Biology of the University of Barcelona.

The cycle includes the conference “La petjada de carboni. Quin nʼés més responsable? Una anàlisi per sectors econòmics”, by Iñaki Gili, from the Catalan Office for Climate Change of Generalitat de Catalunya. The program also includes an analysis of world carbon emissions and the ecological footprint, from the perspective of students of the course on Climate Change Diagnosis, taught at fourth year of the bachelorʼs degree in Environmental Sciences at the UB.
EcoClima UB is a group launched by students and lecturers from the Department of Evolutionary Biology, Ecology and Environmental Sciences of the UB to promote the critical role of the University regarding the effects of global change in the planet. Framed within the several editions, which started in April 2016, several topics have been presented, ranging from the decarbonization of the current energy model, the global change in global environments to the action guidelines from the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP21), held in Paris in 2015, among other topics.
