GEAB 187
It’s a very busy calendar that our team has put together for you over the next four months. Add to this a host of other events, summits, meetings, conferences, etc., as the world is bursting at the seams at the end of this year with ideas about the future of our planet and everything that makes it up that need to be discussed and shared. We are surprised, however, that at a time when so much is being said about CO2, global warming, environmental degradation, pandemics, etc., but also about AI and virtuality, all key themes of these meetings, it would be a good idea to take stock of their carbon footprint. All this travel by world leaders and their entourages in such a busy year is certainly not “neutral”.
September 2024
