In the Anoia region, various initiatives prioritize more equitable environmental and social practices and articulate alternatives to the current economic system. We are talking about initiatives that operate in the field of the so-called Social and Solidarity Economy (SSE). We find projects that aim to cover a very wide range of needs, from food, access to housing, energy consumption to the development of educational or cultural projects.

We live in a world where we spend more than 90% of our time indoors. According to an AIMC study, we spend about 15 hours a day in our homes, which represents 62.3% of our daily time. If we add up the hours we spend in enclosed workplaces, transport and leisure spaces, this percentage rises to 90%. 

There is a wide variety of standards and methodologies for calculating the carbon footprint at international level, as is evident from the reports of the European Commission. 

A carbon footprint is defined as ‘the total greenhouse gases emitted by the direct or indirect effect of an individual, organisation, event or product’.

Recently, the central government approved the ICO guarantees to facilitate the purchase of primary residences for young people under the age of 35 and families with dependent minors. This guarantee will allow financial institutions to grant mortgages of 100% of the purchase price, when the necessary income limit requirements are met.

In an increasingly environmentally conscious world, companies and organisations are looking for ways to reduce their environmental impact. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a fundamental tool for this purpose, as it allows the environmental impacts associated with a product, process or activity to be assessed throughout its entire life cycle.

When we talk about carbon footprinting, the concepts of calculation, validation and verification are concepts related to the different steps to be followed in the process of assessing and ensuring the accuracy of carbon footprint information. So what is the difference between these concepts?
