The International Organisation for Standardisation has certified the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), which was held in Marrakech, Morocco this month under the ISO 20121 standard for event sustainability management systems.
Held between November 7 and 18, this is the first time that an event in Africa has been certified under the standard.
COP22 was attended by more than 22,000 people, and both the Government of Morrocco and the secretariat of the UNFCCC did everything they could to ensure that it was organised in a sustainable way.
ISO 20121 is an international standard that helps to ensure that an event recognises its impact on society and actively contributes to the three dimensions of sustainability: economic, environmental and social.
The certification, awarded by the auditor Bureau Veritas, gives evidence that the Government of Morocco has successfully addressed the management of improved sustainability throughout all event-related activities during the entire management cycle of COP 22.
The first UN climate change conference to receive ISO 20121 certification was COP 21/CMP 11 held in 2015. The certification obtained first in Paris and now in Marrakech sets an example for future UN climate change conferences and beyond.
