PLEDGE4FUTURE

Pledge4Future is a project to help you and your working group to measure and reduce your work-related CO 2 e-footprint. It helps you and everyone else to contribute protecting our climate and life on Earth... In October 2020 some of us, working as researchers or student assistants at the geography department of Heidelberg University, formed an internal sustainability group. In order to create synergies we joined forces with Scientists4Future (S4F)Heidelberg. As we were concerned by a paper by Jahnke et al. (2020) showing that CO2e-footprints per researcher can be three times higher than the German climate target for 2030, we handed in a project idea to measure and reduce CO2e-emissions for working groups at the The Climate Challenge Hackathon of S4F Heidelberg and Goethe Institute - Pledge4Future was born. We were one of the winners of the hackathon, got funded by Goethe Institute, and since then, we voluntarily developed our tool... With our work and actions we want to deliver..
