The Gulf Organisation for Research & Development (GORD), the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) secretariat and United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) have developed an online Green Events Tool (GET).
Purpose of GET is to encourage actions to reduce negative impacts of events, including their carbon footprint, at planning and implementation stages.
The platform helps event organizers systematically evaluate the GHG emission profile and sustainability impacts of the proposed event at planning stage, to design mitigation activities, and to transparently report the actual sustainability impact and GHG emissions resulting from their events.
This platform was first introduced at the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26) in Glasgow, Scotland in 2021.
