## Working with project partners {#project-partners}

Although this section of the toolkit is focused on advocating within your institution, a lot of it may also apply to how you work with partner organisations to support them to develop and deploy digital tools in sustainable ways. Here are a few tools and talking points:

* [International Energy Association reports](https://www.iea.org/analysis?type=report)
* Our World in Data, [CO2 and Greenhouse Gas emissions](https://ourworldindata.org/co2-and-greenhouse-gas-emissions)
* [Julie's Bicycle](https://juliesbicycle.com/) has lots of resources for arts organisations especially (not just focused on digital sustainability)
* [The Networked Condition](https://thenetworkedcondition.com/) is a project about "the environmental impact of the creation and delivery of artworks using digital technology," including a carbon calculator

It would also reveal where voids exist, providing ideas for future initiatives."
* Carbon Literacy Project offer a variety of sector-specific [Carbon Literacy Toolkits](https://carbonliteracy.com/toolkits/)
* Digital Decarbonisation, [Data Carbon Scorecard](https://digitaldecarb.org/data-carbon-scorecard/) is a lightweight tool for quickly evaluating the potential carbon impacts of a new data related project
