Glasgow Declaration on Climate Action in Tourism
The Glasgow Declaration on Climate Action in Tourism unites travel and tourism behind a common set of pathways for climate action, aligning the sector with global commitments and catalysing collaborative solutions to the many challenges facing businesses and destinations globally.
The Glasgow Declaration encourages the acceleration of climate action in tourism by securing commitments to reduce emissions in tourism by at least 50% over the next decade and achieve Net Zero as soon as possible before 2050.
The Declaration has been officially launched at the UN Climate Change Conference (COP26) in November 2021. The information about the launch event is available here.

Glasgow Declaration on Climate Action in Tourism
The Foundation for Environmental Education is proud to be a signatory of the Glasgow Declaration on Climate Action in Tourism. As a signatory of the Glasgow Declaration, we commit to deliver plans aligned with the pathways to cut tourism emissions in half over the next decade and reach Net Zero emissions as soon as possible before 2050.
The Foundation for Environmental Education commits to:
Support the global commitment to halve emissions by 2030 and reach Net Zero as soon as possible before 2050;
Deliver climate action plans within 12 months from becoming a signatory (or updating existing plans), and begin implementing them;
Align plans with the five pathways of the Declaration (Measure, Decarbonise, Regenerate, Collaborate, Finance) to accelerate and co-ordinate climate action in tourism;
Report publicly on an annual basis on progress against interim and long-term targets, as well as on actions being taken;
Work in a collaborative spirit, sharing good practices and solutions, and disseminating information to encourage additional organisations to become signatories and supporting one another to reach targets as quickly as possible.
“To support the global commitment to halve emissions by 2030 and reach net zero as soon as possible, the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE) will implement global actions through its five programmes, especially the Blue Flag and Green Key programmes, two leading sustainable tourism programmes.
Through their criteria and global projects and partnerships, both programmes will raise awareness, provide advocacy tools and actions plans to their awarded sites, raising Climate Change Education to deliver effective Climate Action in Tourism.”
