Vatican Climate Forest
The Vatican Climate Forest, to be located in the Bükk National Park, Hungary, was donated to the Vatican City by a carbon offsetting company. The forest is to be sized to offset the carbon emissions generated by the Vatican during 2007.〔(Vatican signs up for a carbon offset forest ), ''Catholic News Service'', published 2007-07-13, accessed 2007-08-03〕 The Vatican's acceptance of the offer, at a ceremony on July 5, 2007, was reported as being "purely symbolic",〔 and a way to encourage Catholics to do more to safeguard the planet.〔(Climate forest makes Vatican the first carbon-neutral state ), ''Western Catholic Reporter'', published 2007-07-23, accessed 2007-08-03〕 No trees have been planted under the project and the carbon offsets have not materialised.〔(Carbon offsets: How a Vatican forest failed to reduce global warming ) The Christian Science Monitor〕〔(Dangers lurk in offset investments ), ''Ethical Corporation'' published 2011-09-19, accessed 2012-08-25〕
In a more effective move to combat global warming, in May 2007, the Vatican announced that the roof of the Paul VI Audience Hall would be covered with photovoltaic panels.〔(Going green: Vatican expands mission to saving planet, not just souls ), ''Catholic News Service'', published 2007-05-25, accessed 2007-06-12〕 The installation was officially placed into service on November 26, 2008.〔(Vatican wins award for creating rooftop solar-power generator ), ''Catholic News Service'', published 2008-11-26, accessed 2009-12-22〕
