The Lifestyle Calculator offers a standardised method to provide the general public with a free, accessible, and up-to-date methodology for estimating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with lifestyles. It enables individuals to calculate their carbon footprint, regardless of where they live in the world. The underlying data is drawn from a set of UNFCCC-verified, publicly available, and reputable sources, selected for their credibility.

In addition, a full methodology is available to ensure transparency of the calculations and underlying assumptions, and to encourage further collaboration around possible improvements or additions in the near future.
