The EcoTracker 2030 Pledge

All EcoTracker users are encouraged to choose to make The EcoTracker 2030 Pledge, which is the benchmark for individuals who want to commit to a meaningful and achievable target to reduce their personal environmental impact and do their bit to address the Climate and ecological emergency. To avoid the worst impacts of climate change it is essential that our collective CO₂ emissions are significantly reduced by 2030.

The EcoTracker 2030 Pledge is:

“By 2030, I will achieve net zero carbon with minimal offset and I will minimise my ecological footprint. I will:

• Follow the EcoTracker Framework
• Aim to complete all 12 EcoTracker Top Actions
• Maintain my progress
• Share my progress with others
• Encourage others to progress
• Seek to promote wider change when I can“

This involves a firm commitment to aim for and do your best to achieve The EcoTracker 2030 Pledge. It will commit you to spend time completing the EcoTracker Top Actions and engaging with your social network and the wider community, in line with the EcoTracker Framework. It is recommended that you re-affirm your commitment annually.

• Learn how to effectively reduce your environmental impact through EcoTracker’s resources and step-by-step guidance.
• Decide on the Top Actions you wish to progress that align with your other goals and preferences.
• Share your commitment with your community, and draw on their support.
• Act to complete the Top Actions.
• Track your progress.
• Share your progress with your community, and inspire them to follow your example. Celebrate your successes.
• Offset to cover your remaining environmental impact.
• Repeat the above until you have completed all the Top Actions and minimised your personal environmental impact.
• Influence your community by campaigning for wider eco-friendly measures and initiatives.

The EcoTracker 2030 Pledge aims to bridge the gap between the complex underlying science and the simple and practical steps that individuals can take to reduce their impact.

Making The EcoTracker 2030 Pledge does not involve:

• Making a half-hearted effort.
• Guaranteeing that you will complete all 12 EcoTracker Top Actions, although trying your best to complete all 12 is required.
• Feeling overwhelmed. To avoid this follow the tips on the Approach page.

By sharing your “personal eco-progress-story” with others, you and others are much more likely to be inspired and motivated to complete further actions. Participate in the EcoTracker Community.

If you don’t want to make The EcoTracker Pledge, you can still aim for and complete each EcoTracker Top Action separately. Visit the Actions page to select a Top Action.
