Description

2Tonnes: the immersive climate workshop

Atelier 2 Tonnes is an interactive workshop and carbon footprint calculator designed to raise awareness about climate change and encourage action. The name “2 Tonnes” refers to the maximum CO2 emissions per person per year needed to keep global warming below 2°C by 2050. Through this serious game, participants explore their own carbon footprints across key sectors—like food, transport, and housing—while learning how both individuals and communities can reduce their environmental impact.

The workshop uses a systematic approach, combining individual actions with collective responsibility. Participants calculate their current carbon emissions and receive recommendations on how to reduce them. The methodology is based on reliable data sources like national statistics and environmental research, ensuring accurate carbon footprint calculations across sectors like transportation, energy, and food production. The workshop also highlights the interconnectedness of everyday choices and encourages ongoing engagement for greater impact.
