We are currently facing a climate crisis, and due to this World Adventures is declaring a Climate Emergency. 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.Like all signatories, we have committed to the following five actions:1. Develop a ‘Climate Emergency Plan’ In the next 12 months, World Adventures will be launching, Project Impact. Impact is World Adventures ltd.’s project to ensure we leave a positive footprint on our planet. It will be a part of this declaration as we will work on our 5 pledges:
Reduce Carbon Emission
Restore Biodiversity
Responsible Partnerships
Reduce Inequality
Receiving B Corp Certification
2. Share our ProgressPart of Project Impact and this Declarations, we will be completely honest and transparent of our progress towards our pledges. As part of the 12-month plan, once we have all the data, we will release it to the public. 3. Cut global carbon emissionsTourism alone is contributing to the global carbon dioxide emissions, ranging from 8-10% of the world’s emissions, this only is expected to rise. We accept 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 plan will measure and report the carbon emissions per trip per customer and offer solutions in lowering this. 4. Work with our partnersPart of Impact’s pledges is to create partnerships and campaigns with companies who are also acting against climate change. We’ll also encourage our current suppliers and partners to make the same declaration; sharing best practice amongst peers; and actively participate in the Tourism Declares community.5. Advocate for change. We are fully aware that travel has a significant way to go to make a difference, but this is our only mission moving forward. We recognise the need for system change across the industry to accelerate a just transition towards carbon-free tourism.
