The UK has already legislated to reach net zero emissions by 2050, where any greenhouse gas emissions produced by the UK are balanced by the same amount being removed from the atmosphere. The UK has also committed to reduce emissions by 68% by 2030.
Climate change is a global threat. All industries need to look at reducing their carbon emissions, and the travel industry is no exception. As we set out in Tourism for Good, our roadmap for embedding sustainability into the recovery, there is an urgent need to further decarbonise across all elements of travel and tourism and to demonstrate how the industry can be part of a zero-carbon world.
