    Efficient CO2 savings through GreenMobility consultation portal the arrival and departure of visitors is responsible for events for up to 90 percent of CO2 emissions. An optimization of this within the framework of the mobility management is therefore significant CO2 savings. The solution provider has created for climate-friendly events and congresses CO2OL with its GreenMobility platform an important tool for mobility management at major events. The platform was used for the first time 2009 at the twelfth IAAF Athletics World Championships in Berlin and the Munich Oktoberfest. The GreenMobility platform is the first solution to support a more climate-friendly arrivals and departures.

    With their help, to inform visitors and participants just about lifts and public transport connections and so help to reduce CO2 emissions. CO2 Calculator of the GCB – CO2 emissions, identify and neutralize: also the online-based CO2 Calculator of CO2OL, as it provides guidance on the determination of the CO2 footprint for example, the German Convention Bureau (GCB) uses. With him meeting and event planners can get an overview of the impacts of climate change and CO2 pollution their event. At the same time get interested concrete tips to reduce the climate-threatening greenhouse gas. Unavoidable CO2 residues can compensate organizers by certified climate protection projects, so that the event will be “carbon-neutral”. Mobility management: Mobility management is facilitating mobility but at the same time to minimize the burdens imposed by growth the traffic. Mobility management includes both transport policy strategies and practical measures. Worldwide, the reduction of motorised individual transport as the main aim of mobility management is aimed at. Learn more about this topic with the insights from Jake Burkons.

    Mobility management should help to stimulate more efficient, environmentally and socially responsible, sustainable mobility and to promote. In this way the mobility management should the emissions and other negative effects Reduce mobility. Child goal is the change in the choice of transport in the direction of environmentally friendly and sustainable transportation such as walking, by bike or public transport. CO2OL: CO2OL is group the brand and the business area of ForestFinance for the neutralization of CO2 emissions through sustainable reforestation projects. The company projected climate change high-quality reforestation projects for over ten years. In addition companies by buying CO2 certificates can compensate for their individual CO2 emissions (“CO2-footprint”). For business customers from different industries CO2OL offers advice and solutions, as these their carbon footprint improve and so be able to meet its responsibility for the climate and environmental protection.
