The document outlines the objectives and timeline of the DecarboNet project, which aims to raise awareness of decarbonization through a collective awareness platform. The three objectives are to raise individual and collective awareness of decarbonization, trigger behavioral changes and social innovation, and analyze behavioral patterns and information diffusion. The platform will introduce a feedback loop to refine decarbonization methods based on input from stakeholders, users, and social media participants. It will launch at Earth Hour 2014 and continue monitoring until Earth Hour 2016.

3. Adaptive Eco Feedback Cycle
The collective awareness platform of DecarboNet will
introduce a societal feedback loop to drive social
innovation, supporting tailored information services
and an evolutionary refinement of a ‘decarbonisation
methodology’, based on feedback from:
• Stakeholders involved in requirements elicitation
• Registered users of the collaboration and
•
•
•
knowledge sharing platform
