Gallery Climate Coalition Carbon Calculator

Using common art world metrics, the GCC Carbon Calculator provides a breakdown of emissions and offers both detailed reporting and a quick assessment tool to help manage your environmental impacts effectively.

For more detailed reporting, the GCC Carbon Calculator provides comprehensive insights, while the Quick Calculator offers a rapid assessment of your carbon footprint, ideal for preliminary evaluations or quick insights. Both elements are designed to help you understand and manage your environmental impact effectively.

GCC has identified three primary sources of carbon emissions common to galleries, institutions, artist studios, and businesses in the art sector: travel, shipping and building energy consumption. These are key data points that we encourage users to prioritise when creating a carbon report.

The calculator also provides additional data categories to give users a full picture of their emissions across categories including surface travel, accommodation, materials and digital. Users are given a full breakdown of their carbon emissions, with visuals, at the end of the report to reflect on and proactively make changes within their organisations.
