We have signed up to Tourism Declares, an initiative that supports tourism businesses, organisations and individuals in declaring a climate emergency and taking purposeful action to reduce their carbon emissions as per the advice from The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) to cut global carbon emissions to 55% below 2017 levels by 2030.
Like all signatories, we have committed to the following actions:
1. We have developed and deployed a ‘Climate Emergency Plan’ over the last five years, we have set out our intentions to reduce carbon emissions over the next decade.
2. We accept and go beyond the current IPCC advice stating the need to cut global carbon emissions to 55% below 2017 levels by 2030 in order to keep the planet within 1.5 degrees of warming. We’ll ensure our ‘Climate Emergency Plan’ represents actions designed to achieve this as a minimum, through delivering transparent, measurable and increasing reductions in the total carbon emissions for our Hotel arising from our operations and the travel services sold by us.
3. Encourage our suppliers and partners to make the same declaration; sharing best practice amongst peers; and actively participate in the Tourism Declares community
4. We advocate for change. We recognise the need for system change across the industry to accelerate a just transition towards carbon-free tourism.
