Current challenges in offering a green event.
· Disorganized reporting standards
· Imprecise carbon footprint calculators
· Time-consuming data collection
· Incomplete knowledge base
· Poor visualization of results
· No external assessment
· Poor user experience
· Not measuring regenerative effects
Think globally, act locally = climate action.
Gorazd Cad from Planet Positive Event talked about the importance of thinking globally and acting locally which results in climate action. Whereas thinking locally and acting globally results in the opposite, namely a climate disaster.
Summing up.
“We don’t know how to calculate regenerative event effects into Euros. That is why we must change how we organize events.” – Gorazd Cad, Founder & CEO of the Planet Positive Event

Bio & Bikehotel Steineggerhof (Italy – South Tyrol)
Lisa Resch
The motto of the Bio- & Bikehotel Steineggerhof: “Avoid what can be avoided. Reduce what cannot be avoided. Compensate for what cannot be reduced.” In 2019 the Bio- and Bikehotel Steineggerhof became the first climate positive hotel in South Tyrol. This means that they have not only compensated the 48 tons of CO2, through a climate protection project, but doubled that amount, so 96 tons of CO2. They were able to reduce their CO2 emissions in 2017, from 7,30 kg per night to 4,43 kg. By comparison, a conventional hotel measures an emission of over 40 kg per night! In the following we want to share a few of the inspiring climate measure of the Bio- & Bikehotel Steineggerhof!
