Every aim has been made to reduce the carbon footprint, or human impact, this conference will make on the environment. Producing an event completely void of a carbon footprint is extremely difficult, and in order to reach neutral status IAPA will be offsetting the remaining carbon footprint by reinvesting in an equal amount of sustainable resources.
