Pledge Sustainable Publishing

The Dutch PA’s GAU and MEVW jointly launched the sustainable publishing pledge ‘Handvest Duurzaam Publiceren’. By signing the pledge, publishers commit to several sustainability goals. The goal of GAU and MEVW is to contribute to the minimum of global warming to 1.5 °C, as agreed in the Paris Climate Agreement. We therefore want to reach a net zero CO2 emission level as soon as possible (and no later than 2050). GAU and MEVW see it as their responsibility to jointly bring about positive change.
