Summary:
CO2 and its relation to anthropogenic emission has been primary issue in researching and providing solutions to the current global climate change issue. The CO2nnect project tackled this issue by crafting a campaign for schools to determine their CO2 emissions generated during their daily travels to school. The campaign was based on ESD-ICT premises, with an excellent campaign webpage for registration, data entry, data analysis, and questionnaires. The CO2nnect campaign is also primarily influenced and based on the 2007 Norwegian campaign which containing similar goals and methods. The main goal of the CO2nnect campaign was to engage a large number of schools to understand more about the field of climate and transport. Overall participation in the campaign was excellent (over 30000 participants, from 44 countries), which gives strong power for analysis and comparison of the data. The campaign data was analyzedby focusing on the CO2 emission intensities, the transportation mode results, and the questionnaire results. Comparisons were also made to the Norwegian 2007/2008 campaigns, as well as cross-analysis of CO2data and questionnaire data was performed.
