App to sensitize citizens on climate change and measures to cut their carbon footprint
HYDERABAD: Leading Geographic Information System (GIS) solutions provider Esri India announced on Tuesday the launch of an app in Hindi and English to enhance awareness about carbon footprint at an individual level.
A simple to use app ‘Carbon Jagruk’ or ‘CarbonAware’ enables citizens to estimate and reduce their carbon footprint requires no login or download and collects no personal information of the user. The app can be accessed by clicking here: https://carbonaware.in
The announcement is part of Esri India’s endeavor to promote a sustainable lifestyle through carbon-conscious behavior and choices. This app will help in estimating the causes of a higher carbon footprint at the community level. Esri India plans to share this data with local administrations so that they can take measures to educate citizens.
According to Agendra Kumar, MD, Esri India, “In an effort to stave off the worst effects of climate change such as drought, flooding, and loss of species, bringing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions to 'net zero' by 2070 is the way to go for us as a nation.”
To appreciate the user’s efforts in taking part in this campaign and understand their carbon footprint, the app also gives the option to download a certificate at the end. Esri India’s CarbonAware App is a concrete step towards raising awareness about our carbon footprint and making each one of us understand how we can contribute towards India’s commitment to be ‘Net-Zero’ by 2070.
