How to use the Google Sheets template?

The Google Sheets template is built to make it easier for you to make a Climate Dividends claim each year. Even if you are not a user, you can check out the template on this link.

It is thought and built similarly as a form tool.

How it works

The Google Sheets SDD template is built as a form tool to make it easier for you to complete/update your SDD and your Climate Dividends claims. It's complemented by other resources to help you fill it such as:

  • This help center documentation

  • Complementary templates for specific sections

  • A script to export your answers to a more reader-friendly PDF format

The template and complementary resources

The links to the dedicated section for each question in the help center will be marked by the following icon:

In the Google Sheets, you can click on any "HELP" button to reach the dedicated tutorial in the Help Center.

General recommendations

We have designed this template to standardize as much as possible the inputs from Contributing Entities in order to make it easier to review a large amount of claims and to improve the transparency of the initiative.

Stay on Google sheets (vs Excel)

πŸ‘‰ We know some of you might prefer Excel (rather than Google Sheets), but as much as possible, please only use Google Sheets. This will prevent any sync issues, and ensure a smooth export to the PDF format (our script runs in Google Sheets).

Use the free comment sections

πŸ‘‰ The structure might not fit your exact situation. However, please stick to the structure as much as possible (don't move/add/delete cells) and rather use the free comments section if you'd like to be more precise on something.

Feel free to use the additional comment sections!

Use the Help Center

Whenever you have a doubt on how to answer a specific question, please check the associated instructions/recommendations in the Help Center. If you don't find the answer you can also:

  • Check how the question was answered in previous SDDs and claims in our Public Registry

  • Ask the Climate Dividends for help / guidance
