Poll: Do you consider climate impact when booking holidays?
Tourism is responsible for a significant slice of global greenhouse gas emissions.
SUSTAINABLE TRAVEL HAS grown in popularity in recent years amid increased awareness of the impact jet-setting has on the environment.
After two summers of pandemic restrictions, many are eager to venture to far-flung places that have been out of reach.
No one wants a holiday to be a guilt-trip but research has shown that global tourism is responsible for almost a tenth of greenhouse gas emissions.
This week the Environmental Protection Agency said that urgent implementation of all climate plans and policies is needed for Ireland to meet its legally-branding 51% emissions reduction target for 2030.
So, today we’re asking do you consider climate impact when booking holidays?
