Climate Neutral through Procurement

25 - 27 March 2009
Reykjavik, Iceland

Over 220 representatives from local governments, national governments and other public sector bodies met in Reykjavik to discuss how sustainable public purchasing practices can make a substantial contribution to climate change mitigation and adaptation.

Iceland seized the momentous opportunity to allow delegates to witness the official signing of a new Icelandic public procurement policy, containing firm commitments to buy sustainably by the Ministers of the Environment and Finance.

Public authority delegates from 41 different nations pledged to use their vast economic purchasing power to help fight climate change by boosting the market for climate friendly products and services, making the seventh EcoProcura Conference an enormous success!
