Driven by
collective action—
Advancing net zero, one event at a time
Every event
leaves a footprint
From the energy that powers venues to the flights that bring attendees together, events contribute an estimated 10% of global greenhouse gas emissions — 3.7 billion tons of CO₂e, annually.
*Estimates based on Tao et al. (2021), Nature Communications (link) and IEA 2023 global emissions data (~37B tons CO₂).

About us
-
Takaaf is inspired by the Arabic word “Takātuf” تكاتف – which means standing shoulder to shoulder. It represents the power of solidarity and collective action in addressing global challenges. We combine years of event expertise with a commitment to the environment and a fascination with climate tech.
-
We are currently offering our services pro bono to select not-for-profit organizations as we refine our solution and expand partnerships.
We deliver carbon neutral events that prioritize reduction, measurement and verified offsetting.
Our work is grounded in internationally recognised standards and frameworks, including the GHG Protocol, ISO 14067, and ISO 14068-1, to ensure integrity and transparency and align with the goals of the Paris Agreement.
-
We're developing a tool that enables event organizers and participants to support high-integrity, local carbon offset projects and help direct funding toward climate tech initiatives across the Middle East.
We see event-based carbon offsetting as a strategic entry point into climate finance—where events not only neutralize their footprint, but also help unlock funding for the technologies accelerating regional decarbonization.
