Atlantic Rising is an educational charity that aims to raise awareness about the consequences of sea level rise for low-lying communities around the Atlantic. The project will create a network between schools around the Atlantic rim by completing an 8 month expedition that will follow the 1.5m contour line (equal to the maximum height that sea levels are predicted to rise over the next 100 years). The 3 person expedition team are conscious of the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions associated with the expedition and are interested to compare them to the GHG emissions that would have been associated with their personal and work life during a typical year spent in the UK.

Ecometrica is pleased to support Atlantic Rising by conducting free ex-ante and ex-post Greenhouse Gas Assessments of the expedition and of the emissions associated with a typical year for the expedition team if they were living and working in the UK.
