Every year 8 million tonnes of plastic ends up in the ocean and if trends continue there will be more plastic in our seas than fish by 2050. Tourism plays a big role in contributing to this global problem of single-use plastics, but it also has a big part to play in the solution too.
These resources were featured in a series of workshops and webinars that we ran as part of the ‘Transforming Tourism Value Chains’ project to accelerate more resource efficient, low carbon development, led by the United Nations Environment Programme and supported by the International Climate Initiative on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU). The workshop and webinar series took place within the framework of the One Planet Sustainable Tourism Programme and in collaboration with UNWTO. Click here for the project website.
