Efforts Towards a Carbon Neutral Meeting

The ICOMOS Ireland Climate Change sub-committee is concerned that the meetings should be as carbon neutral as possible. To this end we are investigating possibilities such as carbon off-setting opportunities for delegate travel and reducing the amount of paper used over the six days. We will be sending information on this issue with the registration and we hope that all attending will help us to achieve a low impact meeting.
