CO2- neutral conference in cooperation with Ecoventures
Proven contributors to global warming are the emissions of greenhouse gases, one of them being carbon dioxide, CO2. In our everyday life it is unavoidable to cause CO2 emission and to leave a so called CO2 footprint. E.g. Traveling by car from Dubai to Abu Dhabi in a regular car produces 33kg CO2. A roundtrip flight (economy) from London to Abu Dhabi will produce 2.45t of CO2 emission. One year use of a fridge can cause a CO2 emission of around 100kg CO2/year.
It is possible to compensate unavoidable CO2 emissions by investing into and thus supporting projects that lead to a direct greenhouse gas reduction, support climate protection and sustainable development. The organizer undertakes to offset the calculated amount of CO2 emission caused by the event in cooperation with our partner Ecoventures. Offset projects have to fulfill strict regulations. For more information please visit www.Ecoventures.ae
It is our aim to lead with a good example and to leave a green footprint.
