Here is THE place where you will find the environmental footprint (CO2, water, waste, energy...) of every Ma Petite Planète challenges! The MPP team gives you these equivalences, which will give you a clearer view on the impact of the challenges you complete.

Before pouncing on the challenges :
What is CO2 equivalent (CO2e) ?
CO2 equivalent can be found under several abbreviations: eqCO2, CO2 eq, CO2e or CO2-eq. At MPP we have chosen the form CO2e.
The "carbon dioxide equivalent" is defined as the mass of carbon dioxide that would cause the same integrated radiative forcing, for a given time horizon, as a given amount of another greenhouse gas (GHG) [Wikipedia - source IPCC]. This makes it possible to take into account the warming power of different GHGs such as methane or nitrous oxide.
Note that to go from CO2 equivalent to carbon equivalent it is necessary to multiply by 12/44.
