Net Zero Carbon Events

GBTA | Global Business Travel Association joins Net Zero Carbon Events initiative as a supporter: Since launching at COP26 - UN Climate Change Conference in 2021, NZCE has developed a wealth of resources to support events industry organisations on their journeys to net zero carbon emissions. These include a Roadmap and advisory reports on Venue Energy; Smart Production and Waste Management; Logistics; Travel and Accommodation; Food and Food Waste; Offsetting and Measurement. With the campaign now focused on implementation in each of these areas, GBTA and NZCE will be working together with ICCA on implementing the Travel and Accommodation element. James Rees, President of the JMIC Joint Meetings Industry Council, which is driving the Net Zero Carbon Events initiative for the industry said: “GBTA has unparallelled expertise and experience in the technical aspects of business travel and sustainability, especially through the Sustainability Initiative of the GBTA Foundation. We are delighted to be working with both GBTA and ICCA on this and looking forward to aligning our work and developing common ground for all stakeholders in future. “It is also a tremendous testimonial to the framework that NZCE has developed that GBTA will be using this for their own events in future.” Suzanne Neufang, CEO, GBTA, added: “GBTA is deeply committed and active in helping to create a more sustainable future for global business travel. We are pleased to be part of the Net Zero Carbon Events initiative and working with the JMIC and other key organisations to bring the power of our collective efforts to ensure more net zero-focused approaches to the very significant sector of meetings and events." Senthil Gopinath, CEO, ICCA said: “One of our pillars as an organisation is sustainability, and ICCA is committed to working with our partners in the industry to promote the overall goal of reducing carbon emissions. It's crucial that the meetings and events community as a whole joins forces to advance sustainable practices and policies around the globe, and as more organisations come on board, we get closer to our goal of Net Zero by the year 2050." #NetZeroCarbonEvents is open to all organisations involved in events. Registration is free of charge. Financial contributions are crucial to developing the campaign. #eventprofs #events #meetingprofs #exhibitions #businesstravel #sustainability

Our Roadmap is divided into three parts and has been developed as a consultative process involving the members of the Net Zero Carbon Events Task Force and the wider supporter community. The Roadmap sets out a common framework for stakeholders to make their net zero journey together.

This National Clean Air Day, we're thinking about the efforts you can make to reduce emissions at your next event. Transport is a good example of how we can reduce air pollution and help to make our environment cleaner. If you or your team and guests are planning on driving or using a taxi at an upcoming event, why not choose public transport, such as trains, buses or trams instead. Small actions lead to effective impact. #NetZeroCarbonEvents #eventprofs #events #sustainability #sustainableevents #climatechange #nationalcleanairday #cleanairday JMIC Joint Meetings Industry Council
