Improving the competences of educators and other adult education staff by connecting them with apps and other technologies they can use to measure their carbon emissions in their future activities. 3. Reinforcing NGOs, associations, social enterprises' skills and ability to better communicate the climate impact of their economic activity. 4. Developing new software and applications for measuring the carbon footprint of projects and organisations which can be used in other contexts.
