V Summit of Heads of State and Government of Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean

If we are to mitigate climate change then we must begin by appreciating the true dimensions of the problem; in other words, we need to take climate change seriously. Our generation is responsible for a most unwelcome offering to Mother Earth: the highest level of greenhouse gas emissions in the history of the planet.

Neutralising Emissions
A definite agenda which gives priority to the problem of “climate change” is urgently needed as part of the policies of the Peruvian state. Peru is hosting one of the most important events of the year, a meeting of sixty heads of government who will be concentrating their efforts on two key issues: “poverty, inequality and inclusion” and “sustainable development: environment, climate change and energy.”

The debate on climate change is set to go beyond mere theory and exceed the limits of other international events like those organised by the United Nations and the Inter-American Development Bank. The aim is to neutralise the carbon footprint produced by the movement across the planet of the three thousand people who are expected to participate in the V EU-LAC Summit.

The Peruvian company A2G Carbon Partners, the local ally of 3C Carbon Credit Company, which is the world leader in carbon credits and the neutralising of greenhouse gas emissions, will assign experts in environmental management who will, while respecting international protocols, produce a detailed inventory determining the greenhouse gas emissions associated with transport (particularly air travel), energy consumption and all the other polluting agents produced as a result of the fifth summit.

Determining how many tons of CO2 have been released into the atmosphere will establish the summit’s carbon footprint, which is the first step towards counteracting the negative impacts of the activities realised during the event.

This impact will be countered with projects which have a positive effect on the environment, such as reforestation, improvements in local industry and the transfer to renewable energy. These measures are designed to cancel out the negative impact and qualify the summit as carbon neutral.
