About The Glasgow Declaration on
Climate Action in Tourism

The Glasgow Declaration on Climate Action in Tourism is a shared commitment amongst signatories and stakeholders to actively work to reduce the environmental impacts of the travel industry and prevent a rise above 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels by 2100. It recognises the current contribution of CO₂ emissions from the travel industry and aims to align future actions with the latest technological innovations to reduce the travel industry’s negative impacts. These actions are taken in accordance with the global commitment to halve emissions by 2023 and reach Net Zero as soon as possible before 2050. 

Since the creation of the declaration at COP 26 in 2021, over 800 organisations have signed the declaration, committing to a better world brought about by sustainable travel.
