CO2 Emissions Offsetting
The Berlin Conference Committee would like
to inform about how to reduce the impact on the climate. Carbon Offsetting
is a service that helps to neutralize CO2 being generated by travelling. It
does this by ´offsetting´ the greenhouse gas emissions, such as CO2, from
human activities by reducing an equivalent amount of CO2 on our behalf.
These reductions are made through a range of projects in renewable energy
and energy efficiency, which not only fight climate change but bring
benefits to communities round the world. There are several companies that
will offset emissions from travelling to and from the Berlin Conference. To
find out more, please have a look in the pdf from the Trufts Climate
Initiative right here.
