What if understanding carbon emissions was as easy as checking your phone?
That's the future Fred Kisela and his team are working toward.
The Problem: Climate Data Feels Distant
For many people, GHG (greenhouse gas) accounting sounds complex, technical, and reserved for experts or big corporations. Yet it sits at the center of:
- Carbon markets
- Green jobs
- Climate policy
- Sustainable business decisions
When access is limited, opportunity is limited too.
The Solution: Public Carbon Accounting and tailored GHG accounting systems for Businesses.
Fred Kisela and his team are building Zambia's public carbon emissions accounting infrastructure through Carbon Calculator Yanga.
This means:
- Turning complex climate frameworks into practical digital tools
- Using Zambia-specific context, language and data
- Enabling everyday usersânot just specialistsâto participate

The Bigger Picture
This isn't just about a web app or a calculator.
It's about building national climate infrastructure, empowering people with knowledge, and positioning Zambia to confidently participate in the green economy.
GHG accounting is no longer a mysteryâit's becoming a public tool for progress.
