The Ecological Footprint Compensation Programme is an initiative that will help to offset carbon dioxide emissions resulting from student and staff participation in mobility programmes within the scope of UNIgreen.
This compensation can take different forms but will be centred on tree planting projects to mitigate or counterbalance carbon emissions: The number of trees planted by each UNIgreen Alliance Member will be defined according to the level and degree of participation in student and staff mobility projects at an institutional level. Indeed, the number of trees will depend on the number of mobility participants, and the distance band.
As such, we will progressively release information about the actual CO2 emissions generated through mobilities and, at the same time, mitigation measures deployed, including tree planting/reforestation projects.
