NEW YORK, NY – In a critical response to the escalating climate crisis, Regenerative Travel has released its 2024 Trend Report, spotlighting the imperative role of the tourism industry in combating the adverse effects of climate change on our planet. With the latest findings from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) indicating a significant likelihood of global temperatures rising beyond 1.5 degrees Celsius within this decade, the report underscores tourism’s contribution to 8% of global carbon emissions and the essential shift towards regenerative practices needed to safeguard our ecosystems and communities worldwide.

Highlighting the importance of regeneration, the report calls for a collective movement towards sustainability, emphasizing that the path to addressing climate change is through unity and collaboration across all levels of society—from individuals to governments. The document also points out the heightened vulnerability of specific environments and communities, such as small island states, indigenous populations, and polar regions, making the case for targeted actions to protect these critical areas.
