Climate change continues to be one of the biggest challenges facing the #TravelAndTourism industry.
@IBEROSTAR has outlined their plan to reach zero emissions 20 years before the global target in their decarbonisation roadmap.

At #Cop27 our Global Director of Sustainability, @mkmorikawa, will be one of the speakers who will discuss "Food Loss & Waste in Food Systems" and will share insights about how we reduce #foodwaste as a key part of our goal to become #wastefree by 2025 and carbon neutral by 2030.
We know the ocean is gravely impacted by #climatechange, but can it also be a solution? Marine CO2 removal falls in roughly 6 groups, explains @steve_swi at #COP27 event by @OneOceanHub
What’s best w/ least risk? Ecosystem recovery! #winwin#BlueCarbon
In order to #decarbonize supply chain (Scope 3), we need fluid communication across providers. However, the gap to@make it happen is massive. @AmirSokolowski of @CDP shows at #COP27 28% need to report, but 1% are incentivized and 4% have the tools to monitor & meet compliance
Really happy to support the launch of the "High-Quality Blue Carbon Principles & Guidance" framework at #COP27. This is a vital tool to help ensure high-quality blue carbon projects & credits that optimize outcomes for people, nature & climate.

It’s no surprise that islands feel disproportionate damages from #climatechange. They also face unique challenges transitioning to #netzero. Yet successes in islands teaches us all rapid transition and brave leadership is possible #cop27 @Local2030IN
Why do we call this #foodcop27? Because ~1/3 of global emissions come from food 😱. At #COP27, food is center. How do we fix soil, shift diets, ensure equity to farmers & consumers, show food is medicine, & turn agriculture from a carbon source to a carbon sink?
Did you ✈️ to #COP27 concerned about your #CarbonFootprint? Insights from tourism experts:
1️⃣Think hard & care about how & where you travel
2️⃣Be open to experience places & activities differently
3️⃣Know your footprint & choose companies making real effort

The science shows: there’s just 1️⃣ way tourism reaches #NetZero by 2050. A 👀 of the new @travelTF & @bredauas report in @Bloomberg
“Every sector of travel would have to throw all it has behind climate action without delay to make a dent in emissions.”

As part of our 2030 carbon neutrality goal, we are taking action for a #netzero transition by embracing electrification and maximizing renewable electricity sourcing in our destinations.
The time for action on #climatechange is now #COP27
.@Karen_sack closes emphasizing the principles help mobilize high-integrity capital & should demonstrate additionality, durability, & equity for stakeholders. After all, nature is an important insurance policy & should be seen as a resilience asset, not an unpaid externality
Community and co-design should be center. Esther Ngure of @BlueVentures says projects must ensure communities benefit. Remember they also they take time. We need patient capital and fair deals from the start.
