Could carbon-removal tech make travel more sustainable?

by

In the realm of sustainable travel, carbon removal technology glimmers as a beacon of hope. As travel’s carbon footprint soars, these innovative solutions harness the power of nature or engineered processes to capture and store emissions before they ascend into the atmosphere. From carbon-capturing forests to advanced direct air capture facilities, these technologies aim to transform the travel industry, offering a path to mitigate its environmental impact while preserving the joy of exploring our wondrous planet. While challenges remain, the potential for carbon removal tech to revolutionize sustainable travel is undeniable, whispering promises of a greener future for the wanderlust-filled hearts yearning to roam responsibly.

What does the IPCC report mean for travel ?

by

The latest report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) paints a dire picture of the consequences of climate change, with global tourism set to be heavily impacted. The report predicts an increase in extreme weather events, sea-level rise and changing weather patterns, all of which will have implications for travel within the next few decades.

Tourists who choose to visit coastal destinations will be exposed to increased risks of flooding and cyclones, while those seeking adventure travel in mountain areas may have to contend with avalanches and melting glaciers. Already this year we’ve witnessed unprecedented heat waves, wildfires and flooding in many parts of the world, so it is essential that the travel industry takes this report seriously, and begins to prepare for the future.
