The Glasgow Convention Bureau (GCB) has announced that it has become the first convention bureau in the world to join Tourism Declares a Climate Emergency.
Launched in January 2020 as a voluntary initiative to align tourism and travel with the target to cut global emissions in half by 2030, Tourism Declares a Climate Emergency recognises the tourism industry s impact on the climate as well as its potential to influence positive change. The initiative now has 225 members representing business, destinations and NGOs from most sectors of the industry.
This announcement builds on the city’s position as the fourth most sustainable conference destination in the world and the only UK city to be included in the Global Destination Sustainability Index (GDS–Index).
