GreenPACT City

GreenPACT City wrote: The target is to reduce co2 emissions by 50% (agenda 2030). Greenpact city offers an online portal to citizens and municipalities to monitor the direct emissions of family units. The portal calculates citizens’ carbon footprint. We will convert the information from citizens bills and daily activities in total amount of carbon dioxide emitted.
