How Do You Calculate the Carbon Footprint of Your Digital Preservation Activities?

This talk will discuss recent work by the Digital Preservation Coalition to collaboratively create guidance and advice for the community on how to calculate the carbon footprint of digital preservation activities. Through the Carbon Footprint Task Force, which has been meeting every month during 2025, a group DPC Members has come together to share their own experiences and develop a toolkit for others within the community to use to help them work in this area. This short talk will describe this work and showcase the online resource which is due for publication in February 2026.
