# Viewing your carbon footprint
<a name="what-is-ccft"></a>

**CCFT deprecation notice**  
The CCFT will be deprecated on June 30th 2026 in favor of the new AWS Sustainability service which offers additional functionalities and does not require Billing console permissions. [AWS Sustainability user guide](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sustainability/latest/userguide)

You can use the Customer Carbon Footprint Tool (CCFT) to view estimates of the carbon emissions associated with your AWS products and services.

**Note**  
CCFT isn't supported when using billing transfer in the following scenarios:  
When signed in as the management account transferring its bills (bill source account) or a linked account under the bill source account, you can't access CCFT. Additionally, when signed in as the bill transfer account, you can't view CCFT data that reflects emissions from your bill source accounts.

## Getting started with the Customer Carbon Footprint Tool (CCFT)
<a name="ccft-gettingstarted"></a>

The Customer Carbon Footprint Tool is available for all accounts. Your data is updated monthly.

**Note**  
If a report isn't available for your account, your account might be too new to show data, or your carbon footprint is under 0.5 kgCO2e in the reporting month. For more information, see [Understanding the Customer Carbon Footprint Tool (CCFT)](ccft-overview.md).

**To use the Customer Carbon Footprint Tool**

1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the AWS Billing and Cost Management console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/costmanagement/](https://console.aws.amazon.com/costmanagement/).

1. On the navigation pane, choose **Customer Carbon Footprint Tool** under **Cost and Usage Analysis**.

1. Under **Customer Carbon Footprint Tool**, choose your **Start month** and **End month**.

If you're signed in as a management account of AWS Organizations, the Customer Carbon Footprint Tool dashboard and spreadsheet download report the consolidated member account data for the duration that those member accounts were a part of your organization. 

If you're a member account, the Customer Carbon Footprint Tool reports emission data for all the periods. This is regardless of any changes that might have occurred to your account's associated membership in an organization.
