Glasgow Declaration on Climate Action in Tourism

The Glasgow Declaration on Climate Action in Tourism presents a unified framework for tourism stakeholders to accelerate climate action and contribute to the achievement of the goals set in the Paris Agreement. The Declaration operates as a voluntary commitment where signatories commit to support the global goals of halving emissions by 2030 and achieving Net Zero by 2050 at the latest; to develop climate action plans aligned with five pathways: measure, decarbonize, regenerate, collaborate and finance; to report on an annual basis on progress achieved; and to work in a collaborate spirit to ensure knowledge transfer and scale-up impacts.
