The Dutch organisers of the international conference to be held in The Hague to mark World Habitat 2007 will offset all greenhouse gas emissions generated by the conference: the direct emissions of heating and electricity during the conference, as well as the kilometres by plane, train, bus and car that participants travel to get to The Hague.
How will emissions be offset?
After the conference, once the total amount of greenhouse gas emissions is worked out, the organisers will purchase equivalent offsets in projects in Tanzania, Guatemala and Cambodia. These projects help the poor improve their living conditions with sustainable energy. Trees for Travel and HIVOS are helping to work out the conference’s carbon footprint and will invest the offsets in the selected projects.
Why be climate-neutral?
Greenhouse gas emissions play a major role in climate change. Every time we turn up the thermostat, travel by air or go for a drive, we add carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. This greenhouse gas results from burning fossil fuels like oil, gas and coal. The organisers of the World Habitat Day conference in The Hague feel they have a responsibility to offset the negative environmental effects of this event. Their action will also help increase public awareness of the impact of human activities on the climate.
Certificate
The conference organisers will purchase travel offset certificates for each participant, giving information about the amount of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases consumed and offset.
