The Net Zero Carbon Events initiative has published “Best Practices for Decarbonisation Pathways” to provide actionable insights and strategies that can be implemented immediately. This interim document contains advice from its five workstreams dedicated to the priority action areas ahead of the full guidance documents that are set for release in December 2023. It highlights the actions identified by its workstreams to help organizations to gain a head start on their decarbonization journey.
The five dedicated action area workstreams are working to deliver on the priorities identified by the Roadmap: Venue energy; smart production and waste management; food and food waste; logistics; and travel and accommodation.
The Net Zero Carbon Events initiative has been working to promote and facilitate the adoption of sustainable practices within the events industry. Its workstreams have been collaborating to develop guidance documents on decarbonization actions within their respective areas of expertise.
After the launch of the Net Zero Carbon Events Pledge at COP26, the “Net Zero Carbon Event Roadmap” was published at COP27 in November 2022. It is available as a full report with comprehensive information on how to implement action to achieve Net Zero, and as an Executive Summary.
More than 30 major meetings and events industry organizations from across the world are now financial contributors to Net Zero Carbon Events, the industry’s global initiative to address climate change that was launched at COP26 in Glasgow in 2021. Organizations ranging from convention bureaus, venues and event service suppliers to event organizers and associations are contributing at one of four tiers: Platinum, Gold, Silver and Green.
Net Zero Carbon Events is open to all organizations involved in events. Registration is free of charge, but financial contributions are crucial to developing the campaign.
