In September, Green Initiative participated in the One Planet Network Forum 2024 in Rio de Janeiro, participating in the panel “Tourism Reimagined: Towards Circular, Low Carbon, Regenerative, and Inclusive Operations.” We shared our work on sustainable tourism and explored how the industry can drive positive environmental change.
Our discussion highlighted practical ways to integrate circular economies, low carbon practices, and inclusive approaches in tourism, with valuable contributions from leading organizations like @fundtur.ms, @grupo.cataratas, @embraturbrasil, @unwto, and @unep. This was an inspiring platform to showcase the importance of Climate and Nature Positive organizations and their action initiatives in tourism.
As proud signatories of the #GlasgowDeclarationinTourism, we continue to drive climate action in the tourism sector, fostering sustainable operations that benefit both people and the planet—leading by example @greeninitiative.eco.
We’re thrilled to congratulate Grupo Cataratas and Amazon Ecopark Jungle Lodge for becoming signatories to the Glasgow Declaration on Climate Action in Tourism! Their commitment to driving climate action in tourism is a decisive step towards reducing emissions and enhancing sustainability within the industry. By joining this global initiative, they are helping to create a more climate-resilient and nature-positive future for tourism. We applaud their leadership and look forward to seeing the positive impact of their efforts!
We want to thank all our friends who joined the panel with Matheus Mendes from the Green Initiative team for their brilliant insights during the panel and for contributing to an inspiring discussion. Matheus’s input on circular and regenerative tourism practices was key to demonstrating how tourism can catalyze environmental and social benefits. The collective expertise in the room made for an engaging and impactful session, and we’re grateful to all involved for pushing the conversation forward!
