World Travel & Tourism Council – A Net Zero Roadmap for Travel & Tourism

The World Travel & Tourism Council's (WTTC) "A Net Zero Roadmap for Travel & Tourism" outlines a comprehensive strategy for the sector to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. Developed in collaboration with the UN Environment Programme (UNEP), the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), and Accenture, the roadmap provides concrete guidelines and recommendations to help guide Travel & Tourism businesses on their journey towards net zero. By providing milestones for meaningful climate action and emissions reduction for different industries within the sector, the roadmap sets out the challenges ahead and how the Travel & Tourism sector can decarbonise and reach net zero by 2050. This report shows how the sector is greatly impacted by climate change as it affects destinations around the world, but as with many other sectors, it is also responsible for an estimated 8-10% of global greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). The roadmap emphasizes the importance of collaboration among governments, businesses, and stakeholders to implement sustainable practices, invest in green technologies, and promote responsible travel behaviors. By following this strategic framework, the Travel & Tourism sector can contribute significantly to global climate goals while ensuring its long-term resilience and growth
