Plan your music events, sustainably.

Use our CO₂-calculator, practical tips and suitable providers to quickly make events more environmentally friendly and responsible.

How it works:

Step 1

Visit the CO₂-Calculator on the website to get support and information for a more sustainable implementation of your event. Go through the "Show" section and set the scale of your event.

Step 2

Select an area of event planning and provide as much information as possible. Use the info icons for explanations of areas and criteria. You can perform summary calculations for one or more areas.

Step 3

After entering information for at least one area, the tool reactively displays an estimate of the CO₂ emissions caused. The results view helps contextualize these values!

Calculate your CO₂ emissions:

What type of event do you want to calculate your CO₂ consumption for?

During the current test phase (beta version of the website), you can perform the calculation for a single show. We hope to soon offer this for festivals and touring as well!
