Sustainability, a central theme at Net Zero Carbon Events

19-11-23

Sustainability and social responsibility are objectives that cannot be ignored if we want to leave future generations the legacy of a friendlier planet. In this regard, compliance with the Social Development Goals and the need to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions is a priority that goes beyond the 2030 Agenda.

These priorities are reflected in the organization of events, congresses and conventions, since according to surveys and analyses by major organizations in the meetings tourism sector, this trend is becoming increasingly pronounced in international and national professional associations, which consider the implementation of socio-economic-environmental sustainability measures adopted by destinations and suppliers as a decisive factor when choosing the venue for their next event.

Net Zero Carbon Events is an initiative generated by the Joint Meetings Industry Council (JMIC), and supported by major international organizations such as UFI (Global Association of the Exhibition Industry), AIPC (International Association of Convention Centres) and ICCA (International Congress & Convention Association) associated with the JMIC.
