The document outlines the UNDP Bratislava Regional Center's (BRC) efforts to reduce its carbon footprint and environmental impact between 2009-2013. It finds that air travel accounted for 80% of BRC's carbon emissions in 2009. Actions taken in 2010 included installing more efficient air conditioning units, water-saving toilets, and establishing energy star standards for new computers. The strategy's objectives are to become carbon neutral through a 1% annual emissions reduction and offsetting remaining emissions, with a focus on reducing travel, increasing efficiency, staff engagement, green procurement, and reflecting environment in programming. Offsetting emissions through certified projects could make BRC the first UNDP carbon neutral office by 2011.
