A Rocha Aotearoa New Zealand partners with Climate Stewards to offer 360°carbon -- a carbon calculator designed for NZ churches and charities to help support efforts to reduce carbon emissions. 360°carbon is a free to use, collaborative, web-based tool which enables churches and charities to measure their carbon footprint from different activities -– energy, travel, food, waste, water and other expenditure.

360°carbon is designed to reflect the NZ context and uses NZ emission factors. Unlike other carbon calculators that are often focused around individuals, households or businesses, the church carbon calculator specifically takes into account the church environment and questions are framed so that users will find it fit for a church’s context.

If your church is interested in 360°carbon, contact A Rocha to find out more and let us help you begin the journey to understand, calculate, reduce and offset emissions for your church. Churches will need to join the Eco Church NZ network to access personalised 360°carbon support and guidance.
