Unless you live as a hermit with no access to the outside world you cannot be unaware of the climate emergency that we all face. In response governments, states, regions, businesses, and diverse sections of civic society have declared a climate emergency<\/strong>. The tourism industry, wonderful as it is, contributes to the problem of climate change with approximately 8% of global greenhouse gasses<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Science says<\/a> that we need to half our emissions by 2030<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Tourism Declares a Climate Emergency<\/strong><\/a> is a global community of hundreds of people, organizations, and companies who have declared a climate emergency<\/strong> and are coming together to find common solutions. The main goal is to\u00a0enable all tourism sectors to acknowledge our responsibilities<\/strong> and develop appropriate climate action plans<\/strong>, reducing CO2 emissions in line with what science says is needed.<\/p>\n

Why We Are Declaring Climate Emergency, And Why You Should Too<\/h2>\n

We are declaring a climate emergency<\/strong> because we want to publicly state our commitment<\/strong> to the issue and implement workable solutions<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0We know that around the world there is increasing awareness<\/strong> of\u00a0climate change<\/a><\/strong>. At the same time there is a growing traveller demand for a solutions-led approach from accommodation providers like us<\/p>\n

The tourism sector needs to more or less halve its carbon impact by 2030. The only way to achieve this goal is to work together, sharing lessons learnt<\/strong>\u00a0and advocating for the innovation needed<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This declaration essentially means that you want to be part of the solution. The change can only start with acknowledging both the climate emergency and the need to cut\u00a0emissions, together with a commitment<\/strong> to reduce the CO2 impact on the planet.<\/p>\n

The importance of getting involved<\/h2>\n

\"systemTourism is changing and so are the expectations of guests. They too are learning about climate change<\/strong>\u00a0and are trying to reduce their carbon footprint and\u00a0make their next holiday greener<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Travellers come to Ecobnb because they are seeking sustainable\u00a0accommodation<\/strong>, eco-friendly ideas, and tips to live a greener life. But increasingly they will also be seeking out eco hosts who have made a commitment to continue to reduce their emissions and make a guest stay even more sustainable.<\/p>\n
