The Canary Islands detailed a climate action plan at the Cop28 summit in Dubai – the only Spanish destination to offer a dedicated solution at the conference.

The Canary Islands have a tourism climate strategy

Jose Juan Lorenzo, the islands’ managing director of tourism, introduced the Journey to Decarbonization, a free digital tool enabling companies to assess and diminish their carbon footprint.

Journey to Decarbonisation, found at Sustainability.canariasdestino.com, provides a free carbon footprint calculator, a self-diagnosis questionnaire, personalized recommendations and downloadable resources for initiating a climate action plan.

The plan is designed to curtail CO2 emissions in alignment with the Glasgow Declaration to reduce emissions.
