The COP17/CMP7 Greening Programme has been established with the goal of hosting a low carbon event as well as minimising the events’ ecological footprint. It is a collaborative effort involving practically every role-player in the event itself and activities leading up to the event. The process is a shared one with the eThekwini Municipality taking responsibility for local greening initiatives such as event venues and the accommodation sector, as well as determining and offsetting the local carbon footprint.

The Department of Environmental Affairs is responsible for the national carbon footprint and greening of events leading up to COP17/CMP7, the CCR Expo and associated side-events, as well as areas or components that require national co-ordination such as Safety and Security and Transportation. There is a close working relationship amongst the different spheres of government to ensure the successful execution of the COP17/CMP7 Greening Programme.
