The UK will host the 92nd INTERPOL General Assembly from 4th to 7th November 2024 at the Scottish Event Campus in Glasgow. The General Assembly is INTERPOLs highest governing body and the largest global gathering of senior law enforcement officials including police chiefs, Ministers and senior government officials.

The General Assembly is a key opportunity to drive innovation and leadership in international police cooperation to tackle major crime trends and security threats facing the world, including organised crime, counterterrorism and fraud.

As host for the General Assembly, His Majestys Government (HMG) are committed to continuing to meet high standards of event sustainability and delivering a carbon neutral event. The PAS2060 specification has been applied on recent UK Government major events as it provides a robust framework for ensuring the definition of carbon neutrality complies with principles of transparency and accountability.

The application of PAS2060 demonstrates leadership, transparency and accountability in the management of emissions impacts from the event. This approach offers the benefit of being validated by Arup in a publicly available document, providing greater robustness to external scrutiny.

This document, the Qualifying Explanatory Statement Commitment to achieving carbon neutrality, fulfils the requirements within PAS2060, and contains all relevant documentation to support HMGs commitment to carbon neutrality.
