We Declare a Climate Emergency

We’ve signed up to Tourism Declares, an initiative that supports tourism businesses, organisations and individuals in declaring a climate emergency and taking purposeful action to reduce their carbon emissions.

Like all signatories, we are committing to the following five actions:

• 1. Develop a ‘Climate Emergency Plan’

  Which sets out our intentions to reduce carbon emissions over the next decade.

• 2. Publicly Share Our Targets and Progress

  To ensure transparency and accountability in our commitment.

  Here is our ‘Climate Emergency Plan’ with annual progress updates.

• 3. Reduce Carbon Emissions

  We accept current IPCC advice stating the need to cut global carbon emissions to 55% below 2017 levels by 2030 in order to keep the planet within 1.5 degrees of warming. We ensure our ‘Climate Emergency Plan’ represents actions designed to achieve this as a minimum, through delivering transparent, measurable and increasing reductions in the total carbon emissions per customer arising from our operations and the travel services sold by us.

• 4. Be the Change Together, Supporting One Another, Working Together

  We encourage our suppliers and partners to make the same declaration; sharing best practice amongst peers; and actively participate in the Tourism Declares community.

  Please consider declaring at www.tourismdeclares.com, and follow on @tourismdeclares on Twitter, Facebook or Linkedin

• 5. Advocate for Change

  We recognise the need for system change across the industry to accelerate a just transition towards carbon-conscious tourism.
