A new coalition will accelerate tourism’s transition to net-zero, audiences at Cop26 heard on Wednesday (3 November).

Clients will be able to access offsetting projects, such as forestry and conservation opportunities, through the new platform

Ministers from major tourism destinations and leaders from international organisations voiced their support to achieve a sustainable travel and tourism industry, through the Sustainable Tourism Global Centre (STGC).

The STGC is a multi-country, multi-stakeholder coalition established to "lead, accelerate, and track" the tourism industry’s transition to net-zero emissions, as well as "drive action to protect nature and support communities".

The centre’s strategy will be shaped by a coalition of governments, international organisations, academia, multilateral and financing institutions and industry associations.
