A Response to Climate Change

Carbon Footprints - An Introduction

Part 1 of a talk presented on the 9th of May introduces the concept of 'carbon footprint' and describes its relationship with terms such as 'embodied energy'. It outlines the growing awareness that the emissions of green house gases, primarily associated with the combustion of fossil fuels, is linked to climate change. It also highlights some of the potential liabilities companies working in the oil and gas sector face if they fail to assess the carbon risk of their operations.
