France mobilizes for ADEME climate footprint challenge

As part of the European Sustainable Development Week, various French entities are participating in the “Nos Gestes Climat” national challenge led by ADEME, the French Agency for Ecological Transition. The initiative aims to reach a national goal of 50,000 ecological footprint simulations.

Walter France, an accounting and auditing network, has mobilized its staff for the campaign. The network has set an internal target to have 1,000 of its 1,500 employees complete the online carbon and water footprint assessment. The aggregated, anonymous results will be used to visualize the network's collective environmental impact.

On a regional level, the Lacq-Orthez community of communes is also participating in the challenge. The campaign, which runs until October 8, encourages individuals to use the online platform to measure how daily activities—such as transportation, heating, and consumption—contribute to greenhouse gas emissions.
