The UN Climate Change Conference in Bonn (COP23, 6 – 17 November) is designed to increase climate action and more sustainable development at all levels of society. The organizers of COP23 are walking the talk –the conference will be made sustainable to the greatest possible extent. In a special series, the UN Climate Change News team is looking at the different aspects of sustainability – including transport, waste management, catering, energy and offsetting. To kick off the series, they are looking at the issue of making the conference fully climate neutral, including by offsetting carbon emissions.
Once the conference is over, it will be time to calculate the overall carbon footprint of COP23 – and offset emissions associated with the conference.
