Carbon Neutral Event

Thanks to our partners at South Pole, the 2021 Better Futures Forum was a certified carbon neutral event. 

The GHG footprint of the event totalled 3 tCO2e, with the majority of emissions coming from the delivery of the online event. This is equivalent to:

Flights around the circumference
of the world

3,000

m2 Arctic sea-ice lost
(of September sea-ice area)

145,833

Pine trees needed to capture
emissions for a whole year

Via the team at South Pole, we retired 3 tCO2e of EcoAustralia carbon credits to offset the emissions of the event. EcoAustralia credits combine a Gold Standard emissions reduction project with an Australian biodiversity unit. The projects selected for the offset are:
