Sustainable Eventmanagement
As sustainability becomes increasingly important in today's society, more civil-society initiatives and public authorities
address sustainability at different levels in their work. Numerous events
are held throughout the country, and people have become more aware of the
importance of sustainability principles.
In practice, however, many activities consider sustainability criteria only to a minimal extent. There are various reasons for that.
There are often only vague ideas about the effects of events, e.g., impacts on the environment, and the aspects to be considered to sustainably design, prepare, implement and monitor an event. Unfortunately, environmentally friendly and sustainable implementation of events in these basic conditions is often a big challenge, since event venues are not always prepared for such requests or do not take an active stance on this topic.
With our course and our materials we want to contribute to the further development and application of the idea of sustainable event management.
