ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY: CURRENT STATUS
As ICANN's mission concerns the global Internet and the public interest, a commitment to environmental, social, and governance sustainability is in the public's interest. In June 2024, ICANN delivered a comprehensive approach for implementing an environmental sustainability strategy for ICANN. (See below for deliverables.)
A mailing list has been created for interested ICANN community, Board, and org members to share best practices and resources and foster discussions around the topic of environmental sustainability. To subscribe to sustainabilitylist@icann.org, please click here.
