Travel

The amount of GHG emissions generated on site will be reduced as far as possible. However, certain emissions – such as those associated with travel, which is responsible for the greater part of the overall footprint – remain unavoidable.

ITU will offset the air travel CO2 emissions of ITU staff travelling to WTSA-24 within the yearly Greenhouse Gas inventory.

All delegates are strongly encouraged to choose the most environmentally friendly way to come to the event. If travelling by air, this would mean booking the flight with the least CO2 emissions (i.e. most direct route, economy class). Delegates are also encouraged to offset their flight emissions. Emissions generated by air travel can be calculated using tools such as  ICAO’s carbon emissions calculator and offset via UNFCCC’s climate neutral now platform.
