This industry initiative to addresses climate change in the exhibition and events industry. It is hosted by the Joint Meetings Industry Council (JMIC) and aims to bring together a wide range of industry stakeholders.

Sustainable development has long been a focus for the events industry. Connected to programmes like the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs), industry initiatives have addressed everything from waste management and energy conservation to local sourcing and hiring practices. The principles of sustainability are now firmly imbedded within industry practices and client expectations.
