CO2 offsetting
The Klimatag 2023 aims to be organised in as climate- and environmentally friendly a way as possible. This includes a climate-friendly buffet, eco-friendly printed materials, and easy access to the venues by public transport, bike, or on foot. Communication and a shared commitment to making a statement also play an important role.
The guiding principle is: avoid and reduce climate-damaging greenhouse gases! Any CO2 emissions that are nonetheless generated by Klimatag participants travelling to the event will be offset by CCCA through BOKU's CO2 offsetting system.
Further information about the offsetting system can be found at BOKU CO2 Kompensationssystem.
