Carbon accounting enables an organization to quantify its emissions, identify its main hotspots, and comply with evolving climate regulations, while also reducing costs and climate-related risks. By building on this diagnosis to design its own climate action plan, the company can prioritise the most effective measures, engage employees and partners, and demonstrate credible progress. At UCLouvain, the total carbon footprint is estimated every three years, and general actions already taken at central level, as formalized in the Transition plan. In order to go further with actions, notably with respect to supplies and displacements, participation from the subentities (research institutes, faculties, laboratories...) is sought for.
