As the planet warms, rising sea levels, extreme weather, and increasing temperatures are impacting ecosystems and communities around the world.
The latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report finds that there is a more than 50% chance that global temperature rise will reach or surpass 1.5 degrees C between 2021 and 2040 and tourism alone is responsible for 8% of the world’s carbon emissions.
It is important to recognize that while climate change threatens all destinations, certain environments and communities are more vulnerable than others. The front lines of this crisis include small island states, our precious oceans, vital forests, indigenous populations, and the polar regions.
In response to the climate crisis, we must embrace the concept of regeneration—a mindset that extends from individuals to national governments and every entity in between.
We must adopt regenerative principles and take deliberate actions to heal and restore our planet.
The core tenets of regeneration implore us to honor the essence of a place, recognizing that destinations evolve over time alongside the land, its people, and its wildlife.
This 2024 Trend Report will explore how the tourism industry can become a catalyst for change. We will discuss how it can empower communities, inspire innovative policy and governance, drive climate-friendly innovations, and leverage regenerative agriculture to support our planet's regeneration while reducing its carbon footprint.
The solution to this challenge lies ahead in unity and collaboration. We must come together, recognizing our collective responsibility to be part of this regenerative movement.
