Folder Travel Green Planet 2030 Initiative

A 1% certified green market share is not enough for SDG12 ...

Arguing the case for using sustainable tourism as a vector for sustainable development, is 1% of green certified tourism worldwide enough to set up sustainable business supply chains for the 99% to follow in the next ten years, ie by the end of Agenda 2030. How the tourism sector adapts to and mitigates the employment, climate change and biodiversity crises under conditions of instability and insecurity is an ongoing issue needing immediate solutions. Even if professionals themselves are doubting the achievability of the SDGs, the thinking that we all need to act cooperatively, collaboratively and collectively to suceed in any of them is still highly relevent to the solution. Clustering gives SDG 17 a form and function and when the power of ICT is used then we can enter an information age where knowledge can flow freely for all to use creatively. 

... So let's use SDG 17 to implement all the SDGs by raising this to figure from 1% to a 100% in all protected areas by 2030. Nothing less will do. This is the way sustainable tourism acts a a vector for the overall sustaianble development our industry so desparately needs to thrive in the 21st century.
