OVERVIEW OF 2016 
CARBON EMISSIONS OF THE CONVERGENCES WORLD FORUM
HAVE BEEN INTEGRALLY COMPENSATED!

Thanks to its unprecedented partnership with EcoAct, Convergences measured and compensated the carbon emissions of the Convergences World Forum for the first time.

The Convergences World Forum has become a low greenhouse gas event, thanks to a proactive policy of reducing emissions upstream of the event. By offsetting emissions through a reforestation project in Peru, the 2016 Convergences World Forum, is now carbon neutral event.

Discover the actions implemented, our compensation project and our projects to make the Convergences World Forum an even more environmentally friendly event on convergences.org!
