Maximising Carbon Neutral Locations for Consultations/meetings related to Climate Change
Carbon Neutral Locations are critical for all the meetings related to climate change though that is not ensured by the organisers of the meetings. A network of ecostrategic communicators http://ecostrategiccommunicators.ning.com/ is calling for the promotion of carbon-neutral leisure,transport, production,consumption, energy in this regard for accelerating mitigation efforts for climate change. Government agenceis, bi-lateral agencies ,UN agencies and other involved in work for climate are not yet emphasizing this aspect as part of the mitigation efforts. Most of the meetings and conferences are being help in air-conditioned locations without realising the carbon footprint of such efforts. They do not realise that most of the powerful communicators such as messengers across the word communicator through carbon-neutral means. Their communications reached all as masses understood the importance of their communications. Many groups communicate using the carbon-neutral locations and neighbourhoods. That is what is needed for addressing the climate change. We need to demonstrate our committment for reducing the emission of the green house gases through using carbon-neutral means. I wonder to what extent this would be taken up by the UN agencies championing the cause of climate change.
