Writing in support of the non-profit’s five-year "milestone report", issued on Tuesday (1 April), the Duke of Sussex urged travel to set about reducing its carbon emissions by 50% by 2030 – in line with the Glasgow Declaration for Climate Action in Tourism – and make a pledge to protect and restore "at least 30%" of the natural world over the same period.
He also wants the travel industry to develop and promote "truly sustainable tourism" that more justly redistributes the economic benefits, helps reduce inequality, and preserves local cultures and fragile eco-systems.
