Background:

The Institute for Essential Services Reforms (IESR) aims at doing policy advocacy & campaigning regarding access to energy, carbon justice and extractive Industries Transparency. IESR conducts own research to base its advocacy on and understands itself as a think-tank sharing innovative ideas with civil society and decision makers in government and the business world.

IESR has developed an online carbon calculator on its website. Visitors get access to an online tool where they fill in the electronic devices they use at home and see straight away the carbon emissions arising from e.g.
watching 2 hours television. The calculator also shows emissions related to transport, garbage or drinking of bottler water. The visitors get a tool at hand where they see how a change of lifestyle or a reduction of using electric devices leads to measurable carbon emission reductions.

The PROJECT OFFICER would be responsible for developing a more detailed carbon calculator who could also calculate emissions for whole houses or small and medium sized businesses.

emissions from electricity generated in other countries)
