>> CN Net - The Climate Neutral Network has been established to assist those interested in achieving big cuts in greenhouse gas emissions to achieve their goals:
Firstly, by making public the inspiring plans and strategies that pioneering partners have drawn up in order to achieve climate neutrality and encouraging them to publicize their achievements-and challenges-via regular up-dates of the web pages.
Secondly, by acting as a forum through which those who aspire to climate neutrality may network and learn more to plan their own emissions reductions.
Thirdly, by acting as an honest broker, bringing developed and developing country participants together to green the development path and support the Millennium Development Goals.
>> The Climate Neutral Network could have been called the Carbon Neutral Network. However the long-term aim is to address all greenhouse gases, including all six under the Kyoto Protocol, and others covered by treaties such as the Montreal Protocol on substances that deplete the ozone layer.
>> The CN Net initiative is supported by UNEP, which itself is becoming climate neutral in 2008. UNEP will call on the expertise of the network and UN's Environmental Management Group to set some basic benchmarks and foundations upon which the initiative can evolve over the coming months and years.
