ESP conference

Participants of the 10th ESP World Conference donated €1240 in voluntarily greenhouse gas emission compensation. The donation goes towards peatland rewetting in the MoorFutures project Gelliner Bruch and will be used to offset 31 tonnes of CO2.

MoorFutures® were introduced in Germany as the first carbon credits from peatland rewetting. MoorFutures have been developed in the federal state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and follow the regional MoorFutures standard. The MoorFutures criteria are clearly defined, scientifically validated, transparent, and are based on the principles of the Verified Carbon Standard and the Kyoto Protocol.

The 10th ESP World Conference took place between 21-25 October in Hannover, Germany and we are happy to report that it was a great success!

With more than 750 participants from over 65 countries, ESP10 was the biggest ESP conference yet, with the widest international outreach. The conference program featured impactful keynote speaches and panel discussions, sessions on diverse topics, a poster session, business day and market place, the brand new ‘ES in Practice’ competition, a documentary screening and multiple excursions.

The conference set a great example by having majority of keynote speakers and session hosts be female, child daycare was available, all the food was organic, local, and vegetarian and the participants collected over 1200 euro in donations to a carbon offset project – Moor Futures.
