MyClimate is a Swiss-based carbon offsetting company which has a fun to use GHG calculator. It doesn’t have the functionality of the paid tools, but it is very good for a simple but quite accurate measurement.
It is most suitable for indoor events held in a single venue, based in Europe, and where the event owns all the GHGs and does not want to distinguish between stakeholder groups.
If you want a quick and quite precise measurement, the MyClimate tool is terrific.

✅ | EMISSIONS FACTORS: Draws on international emissions factors for electricity, and European for others. Where European in not available, globally valid factors are used. |
❌ | ONE USE: You must complete the data completely. If you navigate away from the page, you will lose the data. |
✅ | EMPIRICAL: Offers estimates using empirical data (event information and historic data from previous events using the tool). This is possible for all aspects of the tool. |
✅ | UPLIFT: Because statistical values and well-thought-out assumptions are sometimes used in individual calculations, an uncertainty margin of 20 per cent is added to the emissions result. |
✅ | REPORTING: Produces a graph and table which you must download or screenshot immediately |

…
✅ | COUNTRY: Choose destination country and it will apply appropriate emissions factors for grid electricity and hotel nights |
✅ | VENUE: Size of heated or cooled area – used to estimate energy if data is not available. |
✅ | PARTICIPANTS: Number of participants. Uses ‘participants’ rather than attendees, and so we assume it means all involved with the event including contractors, performers etc |
✅ | STAFF: Number of staff involved with the event, though it is not clear how this influences GHG calculations. |
✅ | EVENT DAYS: Number of days to allow for empirical (estimated) data where specific data is not available. |
…
✅ | ENERGY: Can choose between actual kWh or esimated on venue configuration using empirical data |
✅ | RENEWABLE ENERGY: Asks if this is used, and assumes 100% |
❌ | ENERGY: Does not allow for fuel use in mobile power generators |
✅ | TRAVEL: Can choose between cars or public transport, number of people per mode and distance, or to use empirical values |
✅ | FLIGHTS: Percentage of people, predefined distance group – short haul (up to 3 hr), medium haul (3-6 hrs), long-haul (more than 6hr) |
❌ | TRAVEL: Does not distinguish between crew/staff/participants, versus event attendees |
✅ | ACCOMMODATION: Room nights, hotel star rating |
❌ | ACCOMMODATION: Does not distinguish between crew/staff/participants, versus event attendees |
✅ | TRANSPORT: Distance, tonne, and choose only between truck, van or car |
❌ | TRANSPORT: You can only enter transport once and only choose one mode |
✅ | MATERIALS: Limited material choices |
✅ | F&B: Number of meals |
✅ | F&B: MEAL TYPE: Number of vegetarian meals |
✅ | F&B: BEVERAGES: Soft drinks/water, tea/coffee, beer/wine/spirits |
✅ | WASTE: By weight, residual waste and recyclable waste |
✅ | WATER: Consumption |
❌ | WASTE WATER: generated |
❌ | MHE: Plant, machinery, equipment |
