F1, major events shouldn’t ignore attendees’ travel emissions
SINGAPORE will “continue to fine-tune” how it manages the greenhouse gas emissions of the meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions (Mice) industry, including the recently concluded Formula One (F1) Grand Prix in the city centre, Second Minister for Trade and Industry Tan See Leng told Parliament last week.
As a first step, the country might want to get event organisers to count and report on the end-to-end emissions generated by attendees. This is especially important for major international events, for which many participants fly into Singapore.
A look at the sustainability report of Singapore GP, which organises the Singapore F1 race, shows a disclosure gap when it comes to the emissions generated by spectators.
