TKF Carbon Footprint
We believe that every individual and organisation has a responsibility to take action to reduce their impact on the environment. TKF is therefore committed to measuring its carbon footprint in order to identify areas where it can make improvements to reduce its carbon emissions. We believe that pursuing a carbon reduction strategy will not only benefit the environment, but also hopefully set an example for others to follow.

TKF24’s carbon footprint was calculated via Climeet. A copy of the report can be found here and certificate here.

TKF25 Reduction Plan
TKF24’s Carbon Footprint Report revealed that 75% of TKF24’s Co2 emissions was generated from flights made by participants traveling to the Forum.

TKF believes in the benefits of hosting an in-person global convention. Due to the relatively small nature of the forum, the community develops a sense of kinship during workshops, dinners, and alpine activities creating an ideal environment to foster connections and effective relationships needed to find collaborative solutions for urgent environmental challenges. In addition, we are committed to ensuring that TKF is a truly global forum, bringing together stakeholders from all sectors to highlight the interdependence of the issues at stake and to encourage cross-pollination of information, ideas and projects from around the world. Addressing the conflict of hosting a global in-person forum whilst committing to reduce TKF’s carbon emissions is a challenge.

To help combat this challenge, we are offering 10% discount on TKF25 tickets for participants travelling to the forum by train. We hope that this new travel initiative will actively encourage responsible travel to our forums and help to reduce our carbon emissions.

In addition, TKF will offset the remaining emissions, including those produced from unavoidable flights, using high-quality carbon credits related to TKF’s chosen Forum topics. The chosen carbon credits are WREN Projects.

Logistics:
A new ‘train’ ticket option will be needed for each category of ticket.
