CO-ORDINATED CLIMATE PLAN DEMONSTRATION PROJECT Final Report 2023

2023-11-23T14:37:42Z

The Glasgow Declaration CO-ORDINATED CLIMATE PLAN DEMONSTRATION PROJECT has been measuring the carbon footprint of the Travel and Tourism SMEs in a multi-level demonstration exercise. Its aim has been to:

Select and apply Green House Gas (GHG) assessment tools to SMEs in the tourism sector
Assess and analyse the process and results
Identify good practices and success factors for follow up projects

The demonstration project has followed an integrated policy approach to implement the Glasgow Declaration aligned to 5 common pathways set out in the Glasgow Declaration. The action to measure the carbon footprint of 50 tourism businesses in three countries will contribute to developing a blueprint for multi-stakeholder implementation actions involving:

Measuring, (including reporting and verification based on a proven set of GHG emission indicators to be collected on voluntary basis)
Decarbonise (delivering targets to accelerate tourism decarbonisation in accommodation and food and drink
Regenerate (help visitors and host communities experience better balance with the nature)
Collaborate (estabishing synergies among key tourism stakeholders, sharing existing tools such green tourism supply chain system)
Finance (preliminary self financing/investment by the Chambers of Commerce involved as part of Mirabilia network ; identify financial sources such as National Recovery and Resilience Plans -NRRP 2021-2026, under the EU Next Generation fund, to support the SMEs engagement, coordination and training activities).
