Web application for carbon footprint calculation

UNDP carbon calculator

The Paris Agreement is a key UN document on climate change. To achieve its objectives, it was necessary to translate a whole country's highly complex environmental calculations into a precise digital format. The PRAS team developed a unique scientific and analytical web platform that helps model and analyze various scenarios for reducing Belarus's carbon footprint. The platform allows assessing the impact on different sectors of the economy, providing tools for in-depth analysis and forecasting of environmental changes.
