30-minute webinar
How to assess
your city's carbon handprint and
act on it
Join us for a practical session with Laura Lakanen, postdoctoral researcher at LUT University, who will share how cities can identify and assess their carbon handprint actions and strengthen the positive climate impact they enable for others.
22 September 2026 at 14.30 CET | 15.30 EET
Is there more to your city’s climate impact than its carbon footprint?
In this practical 30-minute session, you'll learn how cities can create positive climate impacts beyond their own operations and harness handprint thinking to multiply their climate impact.
Laura Lakanen, postdoctoral researcher at LUT, will share insights from her own research on carbon handprints and explain how to map your city's handprint actions, measure their climate benefit, and decide which ones to scale.
In this webinar, we also discuss:
✅ Which of your city's existing actions already create a carbon handprint
✅ How to assess the emission reductions your city enables in others
✅ How to use handprint data to prioritise investments and attract businesses
