ABTA launches climate action guidebook
ABTA and Deloitte have joined forces to launch a new Climate Action Guidebook
It outlines how businesses can lead the way to decarbonisation and make travel and tourism more sustainable.
The manual, which was launched at ABTA’s Travel Convention, helps business leaders gain technical knowledge and understanding on carbon reduction and the practical steps needed to take action.
The guidebook provides:
- Insight on current carbon reporting and reduction targets required as part of reaching the UK’s net-zero targets;
- Information on climate-related risks and how to manage them;
- Guidance on how businesses can measure their carbon footprint; and
- Ways to approach a net-zero commitment.
As well as industry-specific insight and case studies, there is also a strong emphasis on the importance of travel leaders working collaboratively on decarbonisation.
The guide is aimed at businesses of all sizes, recognising that every corner of the industry has a part to play.
It also includes new data on consumer attitudes towards climate change; 71% of UK consumers believe that climate change is an emergency, and 57% are changing their activities or purchasing habits to help address it.
ABTA and Deloitte have been working together over the last year, to produce the Guidebook looking at the practical steps industry needs to take to decarbonise travel.
A copy of the guidebook can be found here.
It follows on from ABTA’s Tourism for Good report, released in 2020, which provides a framework to develop a more sustainable industry.
Carol Rose, Senior Sustainability Manager at ABTA – The Travel Association said:” “For our sector, decarbonisation isn’t easy but it is essential. Progress has been made across the travel industry to reduce emissions, but there is still a long way to go.”
