The BGTW is intending to sign the Glasgow Declaration: Climate Action in Tourism but what does that really mean for organisations and travel media? How does being sustainable translate into what we do in travel publishing?

Sustainable travel expert, co-creator of the Declaration and co-founder of Tourism Declares a Climate Emergency, Jeremy Smith, will explain what it's all about and discuss how we can focus on what we can do rather than can't, in this free-to-attend Q&A with the BGTW's Sustainability Director, Diana Jarvis.

Sustainability in an industry that has been heavily reliant on carbon-intensive air travel; now it's about embracing the complexity and making little changes that can lead to bigger ripples. Jeremy will explain the many ways in which we can still share our love of exploring the world and communicate that to our audiences, but while also paying heed to the needs of the growing climate crisis.
