The National Carbon Offset Standard for Events (Event Standard) is a voluntary standard to manage greenhouse gas emissions and to achieve carbon neutrality. It provides best-practice guidance on how to measure, reduce, offset and report emissions that occur as a result of an event’s activities. 

The Event Standard has been designed to accommodate a wide variety of events in Australia. From large-scale festivals with many thousands of participants to small community events, the standard can be used to achieve carbon neutrality and showcase climate leadership.
