A Carbon-Neutral Event
4YFN 2025 will be a Carbon Neutral event by offsetting 100% of its emissions with reduction and absorption projects and compliance with internationally recognized standards (VCS-VERRA, Gold Standard, ACR, among others). The neutrality will be verified by the ISO 14068-1 neutrality standard, respecting the principle of the hierarchy of emission reduction, emission abatement and offsetting (in previous years, the event's neutrality has been verified by the international standard PAS 2060). For further information visit our MWC Environmental Programme
How can you minimize your impact on the environment during your participation at 4YFN?
Our aim is to provide exhibitors and contractors with ideas of how they can minimize their impact on the environment during their participation and plan for environmentally friendly solutions in the preparation of the event.
1. Make your participation at 4YFN even more sustainable by increasingly adopting sustainable practices
2. Consider more environmentally friendly options for transportation in planning your participation.
- Use public transportation to reach the venue with the MWC Free public transport pass. Share your car or taxi with other members of your company.
- Consider using airlines with offset programs.
- Book a non-stop flight to get to Barcelona.
Non-stop flights are exponentially better for the environment because as much as 50% of carbon emissions come from take-off and landing. It is worth the extra money to book a direct flight!
