We are so thrilled to share the 2024 IBA Conference was a carbon neutral event! When planning our event, we made conscious choices to keep our emissions low. We worked with Explore Edmonton and Ostrom Climate Solutions, Canada’s leading carbon management solutions provider, to measure our event’s total greenhouse gas emissions.
We offset 524 tonnes – equivalent to the emissions from the event’s operations, such as heating, cooling and food served, and from all of the participants’ travel and hotel stays. We have contributed to projects that prevent the equivalent amount of emissions elsewhere. Ostrom Climate’s projects are verified and validated by third parties to ensure that the emission reductions are real, additional, and permanent. We are proud to take action against climate change.
Thank you to all who attended the 28th IBA Conference and for taking the time to fill out the carbon neutral form. Your attendance and efforts are what made the event such a huge success.
