Carbonoffsetting reduces greenhouse gas emissions and can involve renewable energyprojects and tree planting, among others.
The goal is to make all travel, accommodationand activity related to the Conference carbon neutral. “We want to send a signal to our own industrythat carbon offsetting is easy and that it will make a real difference overtime, along with adaptation, mitigation and new technology.
We also want toencourage a trend in the sector that carbon offset schemes will be usedeventually by all meetings and events. Responding to the climate challenge willrequire substantial structural changes and take many years to implement, butthere are some things we can do immediately” said UNWTO AssistantSecretary-General, Geoffrey Lipman.
