With some holidays creating over 5 tonnes of carbon emissions per person, we set out on a mission to come up with the holidays that are compatible with the Paris Agreement target of staying within 1.5 degrees of global warming.

The travel industry can be criticised as being slow to decarbonise, but there are 8 steps that any tour operator can take to reduce their carbon emissions and reach Net Zero.
