Nr. 17: Climate-Friendly Travel

Did you know that the tourism sector causes roughly as many greenhouse gas emissions as India? That's about 8% of total global emissions. Tourism therefore plays a crucial role in the fight against climate change. To reduce emissions and protect the climate, travellers and businesses need to pull together. Businesses need to create a sufficient range of climate-friendly travel options and make them as attractive as possible. Travellers, in turn, should try to make climate-friendly decisions in all aspects of their trip. Only then can a successful transformation towards a sustainable tourism industry be achieved.
