PHASE 3 | Workstreams to Deliver on Roadmap | October 2022 – December 2023

8 workstreams have been identified to deliver on the priorities identified by the Roadmap (Measurement, Reporting, Carbon offsetting, Venue energy, Production and Waste, Food and food waste, Logistics, Travel and Accommodation) and a call to participate in any of them was made to all Supporters during the 3rd quarter of 2022.

All workstreams started mid-October and a progress webinar to all Supporters was arranged in February 2023.

Following the release of the Net Zero Carbon Events Roadmap, the Measurement Workstream is working on a measurement methodology for event-level emissions. We are aiming to provide coefficients and proxy data for each emission source so that stakeholders with less data access can use these in the calculation of their overall event emissions while taking the diverse range of events into account. We encourage all stakeholders in the meetings and events industry to fill in the survey for the data collection.

The NZCE Offsetting Workstream is conducting a survey among the meetings and events industry stakeholders to understand the current practices in the offsetting projects. We invite you to participate in the survey and help us to create a comprehensive guide on carbon offsetting in the meetings and events industry.
