BERLIN, 3 March 2010 Summit of the biggest international carbon footprint initiatives taking place on 17-18 March in Berlin
From March 17-18, 2010 for the third time all internationally relevant stakeholders in "Product Carbon Footprinting" (PCF) and "Carbon Labelling" get together in Berlin to share their experiences in the assessment, the reduction and the communication of carbon footprints of products. Producers, suppliers, retailers, initiatives and NGOs from Europe, USA and Asia will present and discuss the existing methodologies and the perspective of carbon footprinting. One major issue will be the question whether the applied GHG emission reduction strategies embrace market realities or not. Additionally an exclusive exhibition of carbon labelled products from all over the world can be visited at the conference venue.
Speakers list and the full programme of the 3rd PCF World Summit "Sector Approaches to Product Carbon Footprinting" can be found here.

BERLIN, 2. MARCH 2009 PCF World Forum: Participating Initiatives demand a global standard.
For the first time, all major international players in Product Carbon Footprinting and Carbon Labelling did gather on the 26th and 27th of February 2009 for the first summit of the PCF World Forum in Berlin. The event did mark a unique opportunity to exchange ideas and experiences at this key moment for the field. With more than 150 participants from 20 countries and 12.000 Live stream viewers, the first PCF World Forum attracted a high level of interest. Around the world, many leading companies and initiatives have introduced PCF schemes. However, there is no internationally agreed methodology yet. Working towards a global standard has become a matter of urgency.

BERLIN, 26. FEBRUARY First international summit of PCF World Forum in Berlin, Germany
One of the hottest topics in the debate on climate change is the role of personal consumption. Product Carbon Footprinting, or PCF, provides a method of measuring greenhouse gas emissions of individual goods and services. Around the world, many leading companies and initiatives have introduced PCF schemes. However, there is still no internationally recognised methodology. Working towards a global standard has become a matter of urgency.
For the first time, all the major international players in Product Carbon Footprinting and carbon labelling will gather on 26-27 February 2009 for the first summit of the PCF World Forum in Berlin. The event marks a unique opportunity to exchange ideas and experiences at this key moment for the field.

BERLIN, 6. FEBRUARY Streetpoll on Carbon Footprint. A camera team asks people if they knew their carbon footprint or of the products they did buy. Some rather funny guessing and interesting answers show that there is still a big need for education on this issue. German language version. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kpyGiQ94_Pg |
