Mission
The consumer disclosure working group looks at ways of making customers aware, in a meaningful, understandable way, of the impact they bring about on the environment while going about their daily life. This could mean for instance, one's impact caused by :
- the products they choose to buy,
- the modes of travel they choose
- the companies they choose to buy from
- Heating / lighting of their home
The intent is to offer easy information for an individual to be able to see impact / options in order to take informed decisions to take personal action in the reduction of climate impact
As a background the working group continues to build on the good work done by various teams in the Open Climate Project. This WG has a relationship of being a node in the Collabathon.
