旅行和旅游业的净零路线图

ForewordClimate change is here - and it’s getting worse fast. The COVID-19 pandemic was a powerful reminder of how deeplyconnected nature is to the health of our people and our planet and provided an opportunity to rethink how wedo business. But now, we need urgent action to shield our economy, businesses and way of life from potentiallydevastating harm.We know climate change threatens our survival. A warmer planet means more natural disasters, rising sea levels,water and food shortages, and damage to cultural and natural heritage. It means greater erosion to our coastlinesand the loss of ecosystems like coral reefs, which are so vital to the health and competitiveness of our sector. Thisis a warning we must take seriously.By working together, we can create healthier, safer, and greener destinations and communities, backed by sustainableindustries. A climate-conscious and inclusive Travel & Tourism sector can play a central role in this transition, providinggood jobs, stable incomes and protecting our cultural and natural heritage. While climate change itself threatensmany destinations, our sector has both a responsibility and an opportunity, to catalyse positive change, especiallyin high-risk areas.Because the choices we make today will define the world tomorrow. By raising our ambitions and accelerating ouractions, we can have the ability to protect tourism’s most vulnerable populations and places. Now is the time foreveryone in our sector to step up and help preserve our most valuable assets: our people and our planet.Together we can meet the Paris Agreement and prevent global temperatures from rising above 1.5 Celsius thiscentury.As part of this effort, WTTC, UNEP and Accenture launched the 1st edition of the Net Zero Roadmap for Travel &Tourism at COP26 in Glasgow in 2021. The report was endorsed by UNFCCC and is positioned as a key supportingdocument with the Glasgow Declaration on Climate Action in Tourism.Crafted in close collaboration with key representatives of the global Travel & Tourism sector, the Roadmap outlinesour current status and establishes bold industry milestones for real climate action and emission reduction. It providesa realistic view of the challenges ahead and the ways we can decarbonise to achieve a net zero future.Ultimately, the Roadmap aims to help protect the beautiful world we share and help address the most urgent globalchallenge of our time.This second edition – with support from the Azerbaijan Tourism Board – provides an update on the sector’s net zerostatus quo analysis (including climate targets, carbon intensities and emissions profiles), proposed target corridors,and a decarbonisation action framework. Further, it includes new content on SAF (Sustainable Aviation Fuel) trends,the strategic benefits of sustainability certifications, green financing for SMEs, and the role of tourism boards indecarbonising the Travel & Tourism sector.Julia Simpson,President and CEO,World Travel & Tourism Council Dr. Jesko Neuenburg,Managing Director & Global TravelSustainability Lead, Accenture A letter from the chairman of Tourism Agency ofthe Republic of AzerbaijanClimate change is one of the greatest challenges of our time. Over the last decade, important progress has been made,including the historic 2015 Paris Agreement, which set a global target to limit global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industriallevels. By 2023, more than 90 countries had communicated net zero emission goals. However, while much has beendiscussed and agreed upon, the actions required to effectively address this global issue remain insufficient.The Travel & Tourism sector is a key engine of global economic growth and job creation. Tourism not only carries theresponsibility to address climate change but due to its interconnectedness with other industries, also holds the potentialto drive transformative change towards sustainability. Important sector-wide initiatives, such as the Glasgow Declarationon Climate Action in Tourism, offer an opportunity to accelerate climate action across the sector, with the aim of halvingthe sector’s global greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and achievingnet zeroby 2050.Azerbaijan has committed to signing this Declaration and, holding the COP29 Presidency, actively advocated for theinclusion of Travel & Tourism within the COP29 Thematic Program. We are convinced that responsible actions by bothTravel & Tourism businesses and governments will play a pivotal role in tackling climate change.Today, tourism policy faces the critical task of developing a sustainable and resilient model that balances the needsof people, planet, and economic prosperity, while aligning with global net zero commitments. The publication of theupdated Net Zero Roadmap for Travel and Tourism by the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) represents a pivotalmoment for the sector. This updated report offers invaluable insights into the climate challenges facing the Travel &Tourism sector, with a focus on key industries
