In recent years, sustainability has become increasingly important in the events industry. Events mean experiencing something new, communication, fun and emotions, but they also inevitably generate greenhouse gases and waste. Visitors in particular are becoming more and more aware of these issues. myclimate helps companies in the sector to plan and stage events in order to make an effective contribution to a more sustainable future in addition to providing a perfect experience for visitors.
The event industry covers a broad spectrum. From small, private events to club and community festivals to doctors’ congresses, music festivals or even large sporting events. No matter how different events may seem, they all share some common denominators when it comes the sources of CO₂ emissions: travel to and from the event and catering for the participants. Besides these factors, waste, energy, resource and material consumption also contribute to the events’ carbon footprint.
How can an event be organised more sustainably? How can I reduce the event’s CO₂ emissions and make it as climate friendly as possible? How can I integrate the visitors in a sustainable concept and enable them to participate?
Arranging an event sustainably presents organisers with major challenges and requires a wide range of different factors to be taken into account. myclimate supports organisers and events with specific measures that help to make the event environmentally friendly and inspire visitors.
myclimate offers the following solutions for more climate protection in the event sector:
