Adventuretects is joining other global travel companies, organisations and individuals to declare a climate emergency and signed up to Tourism Declares.
Launched at www.tourismdeclares.com, the declaration commits signatories to accelerate their own emission reductions in line with IPPC advice that the world needs to cut global carbon emissions to 55% below 2017 levels by 2030.
Here is Adventuretects’s launch Declaration for Tourism Declares Climate Emergency.
WE COMMIT TO:
1. Develop a ‘Climate Emergency Plan’
We will develop a ‘Climate Emergency Plan’ within the next 12 months or sooner, which sets out our intentions to reduce carbon emission over the next decade.
2. Share commitment and progress publicly
Share the initial public declaration, the ‘Climate Emergency Plan’, and update on progress against targets each year.
3. Cut carbon emissions
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. Ensure the ‘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 operations and travel services sold. It will set out our actions, measure and reduce our carbon emissions per travelers arising from our operations and the travel services sold by us.
4. Work together
Encourage suppliers and partners to make the same declaration; share best practice amongst peers; and actively participate in the Tourism Declares community.
5. Advocate for change
Recognise the need for system change across the industry and call for urgent regulatory action to accelerate the transition towards zero carbon air travel.
