Carbon Emissions

The NZ Ecological Society has a number of sustainability goals. One of these is to minimise the impact of our conferences on the environment. To assist in achieving these goals a small fee is included in the registration rates to offset event carbon emissions.

Method of calculating carbon credits

Using carbon calculators (co2.myclimate.org & calculator.toitu.co.nz), an estimated carbon offset has been calculated for the event footprint as well as anticipated travel and accommodation (based on previous data).

How the funds will be distributed

A New Zealand charitable organisation with carbon offsetting activities will be selected by the 2026 organisers as a recipient for collected funding.


Payment Options

Credit Card (Mastercard or Visa).
