A member of the international expert network Verico SCE (Germany) and a representative of the verifier PetroltecnicaEnvironmental Services (Qatar), Ecopolis Certification and Service, certified the calculations performed and confirmed the offset of the carbon footprint of the BRICS Climate Forum 2024 in accordance with the international standard ISO 14021, which was held on August 29-30, 2024 in Moscow.
“Within the BRICS framework, the climate agenda has always been considered one of the main priorities. BRICS, as a platform for dialogue between countries with growing economies, covering more than 40% of the world's population and almost a third of the world's GDP, is very important for solving a large-scale task - forming a common vision of the threat of climate change and a unified approach to how the global transition to low-carbon development should be carried out. We are pleased to take part in the certification of the calculations performed and confirm the carbon footprint offset in accordance with the international standard ISO 14021 of the first carbon-neutral climate event of the BRICS countries. I hope that we have laid the foundation for a wonderful tradition - to make subsequent events of the BRICS countries carbon-neutral!" - commented Vyacheslav Vekovtsev, CEO of Ecopolis Certification and Service.
