Cover Story: The mitigation of climate change requires a collective action of all individuals and organizations, including universities. Centrale Nantes, a French “Grande école” [technical university], started to raise awareness about their greenhouse gas emissions with the assessment of their 2018 carbon footprint. An individual carbon footprint calculator has been developed within the scope of the university, based on the new open-source French national simulator called “Nos Gestes Climat” [Our Climate Action] proposed by the “Association Bilan Carbone” [Carbon Footprint] and ADEME (French Environment and Energy Management Agency). The aim is to let the users identify the major emission sources related to their professional activities and offer quantified advice to take action. Open-source code availability and multi-agent collaborations are key factors in developing sustainability initiatives. View this paper
