The Glasgow Declaration on Climate Action in Tourism

The Transformational Travel Council is proud to be a signatory of the Glasgow Declaration on Climate Action in Tourism

As a signatory of the Glasgow Declaration, we commit to deliver plans aligned with the pathways to cut tourism emissions in half over the next decade and reach Net Zero emissions as soon as possible before 2050.

The TTC proudly commits to:

- Support the global commitment to halve emissions by 2030 and reach Net Zero as soon as possible before 2050;

- Updating our climate action plans within 12 months from becoming a signatory and continue implementing them;

- Align plans with the five pathways of the Declaration (Measure, Decarbonise, Regenerate, Collaborate, Finance) to accelerate and co-ordinate climate action in tourism;

- Report publicly on an annual basis on progress against interim and long-term targets, as well as on actions being taken;

- Work in a collaborative spirit, sharing good practices and solutions, and disseminating information to encourage additional organisations to become signatories and supporting one another to reach targets as quickly as possible.

In this distinct and critical moment in time, the TTC pledges to support the Glasgow Declaration along with travelers, organizations, and communities in taking meaningful climate action from the inside-out through a process of healing, transformation, and regeneration.

Together, we can accelerate the radical change needed to reach these goals by inviting our colleagues around the world to be open to new and different approaches, understanding that real change comes from within. This means challenging the status quo and traditional structures, shifting away from linear, mechanistic thinking, and opening up to a new and more holistic view of our world, the interconnections, and how we participate.

By encouraging a more conscious approach to tourism we can all seed the development of new and necessary connections, awareness, and relationships in travelers and hosts that shifts behaviors. By leveraging the power of real travel we can cultivate stewardship and more mindful traveling and living, ultimately fostering a healthier human, home, habitat, and humanity.
