Carbon footprint and carbon strategy for the Belgian Technical Cooperation (BTC-CTB)
The context:
BTC is the Belgian development cooperation agency.
BTC integrates the environment not only as a cross-cutting issue in every project, but also as an important component in its day-to-day operations. In this context, BTC wanted to measure its carbon emissions in order to prepare mitigation strategies and to reach carbon neutral goal.
Our proposition:
Prospect C&S in collaboration with Partners for Innovation elaborated the BTC baseline inventory of carbon emissions and developed short- and mid-term carbon strategies for the organisation. The study includes the BTC head quarters in Brussels as well as representation offices in 19 BTC partner countries.
Results:
- Elaboration of a detailed inventory of carbon emissions resulting from BTC activities in Brussels and in partner countries, as well as a proposal for future monitoring and follow up.
- Proposition of a global carbon strategy including a long-term strategy, concrete suggestions for mitigation and compensation measures to strive for the lowest carbon emissions possible.
- Contribution to the internal communication of the issue and dissemination of the information within the organisation.
