The reporting of greenhouse gas emissions has become standard practice for many organisations and the Fit for the Future network continues to support its members to share challenges, approaches, resources and lessons learnt in this key area.  

 

However, not many organisations report on wider emissions that also contribute to air pollution.  At this webinar we heard from the Air Pollution Footprint Partnership (APFP) which provides tools and information to estimate and report on your air pollutant emissions alongside your greenhouse gas emissions.  

 

APFP aims to help organisations understand, report and take action on air pollution. Their free to use tool was first launched in June 2023 and since then has engaged with over 300 organisations.  APFP’s overview include:

 

  • Why tackling air pollution is everyone’s priority (the relationship between emission, concentrations (air quality) and health)
  • Reporting frameworks
  • What is the Air Pollution Footprint Partnership (APFP)?
  • The air pollutants targeted (a tiered approach to calculating emissions)
  • Structure and outputs of the tool (How could you use the tool?)
