In 2021, we joined the Glasgow Declaration on Climate Action in Tourism, an initiative launched at COP26 by the UNWTO in collaboration with the Travel Foundation. The purpose of the declaration is to lead and align climate action across tourism stakeholders, including government and institutional agencies; donors and financial institutions; international organizations; civil society; the private sector; and academia.
As a signatory of the Glasgow Declaration on Climate Action in Tourism, we commit to deliver plans aligned with the pathways to cut tourism emissions in half over the next decade and reach Net Zero emissions as soon as possible before 2050.
Bog & Thunder commits to:
Support the global commitment to halve emissions by 2030 and reach Net Zero as soon as possible before 2050
Deliver climate action plans within 12 months from becoming a signatory (or updating existing plans), and begin implementing them
Align plans with the five pathways of the Declaration (Measure, Decarbonise, Regenerate, Collaborate, Finance) to accelerate and co-ordinate climate action in tourism
Report publicly on an annual basis on progress against interim and long-term targets, as well as on actions being taken
Work in a collaborative spirit, sharing good practices and solutions, and disseminating information to encourage additional organizations to become signatories and supporting one another to reach targets as quickly as possible.
You’ll find our first Climate Action Plan here, which reflects upon our work in 2022 and sets new goals for 2023.
