A sectoral approach developed by UNFCCC/IOC aiming to take action and raise awareness to mitigate the impacts of climate change in line with the Paris Agreement objectives: to reduce our carbon emissions by 50% by 2030, reach net zero emissions by 2050 and promote and raise awareness around climate change.
World Triathlon joined the IOC/UNEP “Clean Seas campaign” in 2018 and strongly advocates event organisers to combat marine plastic pollution.
The Climate Neutral Now Initiative encourages and supports organizations to act now in order to achieve a climate neutral world by 2050, as enshrined in the Paris Agreement. It is a tool to promote additional voluntary action on climate and to provide recognition for it. The initiative is not a certification scheme for its participants. An organization can become a participant by signing the Climate Neutral Now Pledge, following the three steps (Measure, Reduce, Contribute) and reporting on its actions and achievements annually.
