“This announcement builds on the already strong relationship that Sochi 2014 has with the UNEP, which has already seen the Organizing Committee become involved in the UNEP Climate Neutral Network. I am sure the memorandum signed today will not only be a written commitment, but will guarantee that during the preparation and staging of Sochi 2014 great strides are made in environmental protection in Sochi and the Krasnodar Region. We have already seen tangible results of this today as Sochi 2014 and its partners have joined the Billions of Trees Campaign”.
