The objective of Carbonocero Program is Improve knowledge on the problem of climate change and promote measures to mitigate or offset the carbon footprint associated in particular with the travel industry and tourism. Through our work with IBM de Argetnina we have developed mobile applications to measure the carbon footprint of air travel and with the new Watson Analytics use licenses we have incorporated the capacity to analyze climatic and environmental Big Data. Our new partnership with Biosphere will allow us to reach more industry players, through this certification program, which we will provide the calculators for the carbon footprint of the companies associated with the certification program. 1. We are now developing the third version of the carbon calculator app with IBM of Argentina, including the using of web based platform. 2. We are now developing the calculators for Biosphere 3.

We are now negotiating to provide our tools through a big network related with sustainable tourism and climate change. 1. Between 100 and 500 downloads of our app. With the new app, we expect to increse this number throug a joint campaign with IBM of Argentina. 2. 10 ebooks published trhough our Plan21 Publishing Initiative (Ediciones Plan21) to offer ebooks to partially offset the carbon footprint 3. 10 signed agreements with native forest owners in Argentina 4.
