WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM Annual Meeting

Davos, Switzerland (24.01.2007 - 28.01.2007)

Greenhouse gases (such as CO2 and others) are mainly responsible for today's climatic change. As over 90% of the emissions are caused by airplanes transporting the participants to the meeting, World Economic Forum has only limited possibilities to contribute directly to global climate protection.

The DCA therefore enables every participant to support a climate protection programme which avoids the emission of greenhouse gases through the replacement of fuel power plants by small-scale biogassification systems.

The aim of the DCA is that every participant compensates, i.e. offsets, the amount of greenhouse gas emissions he has generated himself by voluntarily contributing to this programme. In 2007, the Annual Meeting genereated 8300t CO2 (3.5t per person) of which 4500t CO2 have been compensated via the Davos Climate Alliance. This figure does not include corporate offsetting schemes of participating companies.

The New Champions offset their emissions at the 'Summer Davos' in China!

To meet the challenges of climate change governments, private sector, NGOs and individuals must all work together. An important step to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is to become aware of how much we emit. The Davos Climate Alliance is a valuable tool to become more conscious and to be able to compensate. At this Annual Meeting of the New Champions 2009 in Dalian, we can start reducing greenhouse gas emission now!
