As a signatory and launch partner of the Glasgow Declaration on climate Action in Tourism, Millennium Destinations steps forward as a global leader working to accelerate climate action in tourism.
Launched on 4 November 2021 at the COP 26 UN Climate Change Conference, the Glasgow Declaration on Climate Action in Tourism intends to unites travel and tourism stakeholders behind a common set of pathways for climate action, aligning a united sector with global commitments and catalyzing collaborative solutions to the many challenges facing businesses and destinations globally.

The Glasgow Declaration on Climate Action in Tourism brings together the latest research and global expertise to galvanise climate action. It is hosted within the One Planet Sustainable Tourism Programme’s website, and includes Recommended Actions for tourism stakeholders across the world to consider as part of their action planning, alongside other resources.
The implementation of the Glasgow Declaration is led by the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) in collaboration with the Travel Foundation and Tourism Declares a Climate Emergency, within the framework of the One Planet Sustainable Tourism Programme. ​

As a signatory of the Glasgow Declaration, Millennium Destination commits to:
  • Support the global commitment to halve emissions by 2030 and reach Net Zero as soon as possible before 2050; 
  • Deliver climate action plans within 12 months from becoming a signatory (or updating existing plans), and begin implementing them; 
  • Align our plans with the five pathways of the Declaration (Measure, Decarbonise, Regenerate, Collaborate, Finance) to accelerate and co-ordinate climate action in tourism; 
  • Report publicly on an annual basis on progress against interim and long-term targets, as well as on actions being taken; 
  • Work in a collaborative spirit, sharing good practices and solutions, and disseminating information to encourage additional organisations to become signatories and supporting one another to reach targets as quickly as possible.

"More than ever, the global tourism industry has a unique opportunity to demonstrate its transformative power through inspiring and driving climate action. It’s not only an emergency but also a matter of human dignity."
Catherine GERMIER-HAMEL, Founder & CEO of Millennium Destinations
Millennium Destinations is therefore determined to mobilize its networks, resources and solutions to support the Declaration and climate action, especially through its impact-driven travel platform Herost and the Millennium Hikers initiative, both listed as projects of the One Planet Sustainable Tourism Programme. 
Key partners of Millennium Destinations have also signed the Declaration, including
Corée Voyage, a Destination Management Company headquartered in Seoul, Republic of Korea, and Destination Mekong, the tourism marketing organization dedicated to the promotion of the Greater Mekong Sub-region as a leading sustainable destination.
