At #COP29 the Glasgow Declaration for Climate action in Tourism played a central role in supporting the UN Climate Change COP29 Tourism Day!   For the first time in the history of the UNFCCC COPs, COP29 featured a Tourism Day, with a First Ministerial Meeting dedicated to positioning tourism policy to support national climate goals. In Baku, public and private sector leaders recognized the significant impact of climate change on the tourism sector and its contribution to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. At the same time, they emphasized tourism's potential to actively foster climate adaptation and regeneration strategies.   This landmark achievement is the result of a collaboration between the State Tourism Agency of the Republic of Azerbaijan and UN Tourism, with UN Environment Programme's support, within the framework of the Glasgow Declaration on Climate Action in Tourism (GD). The Glasgow Declaration on Climate Action in Tourism is an initiative of the One Planet network's Sustainable Tourism Programme, jointly led by UN Tourism and UNEP. Its objective is to support the tourism sector in implementing the Paris Agreement.   The Glasgow Declaration continues to advance with more than 370 action plans already developed by its 900 signatories. Key Takeaways from the Glasgow Declaration Implementation Report 2024 released at UNFCC COP29, that included:   ✅ 74% of signatories with climate plans are measuring ✅ 92% of plans include decarbonization actions ✅ 73% of plans include actions related to biodiversity protection ✅ 41% of plans include climate adaptation actions ✅ 29% of plans refer to climate justice   During COP29, the State Tourism Agency of Azerbaijan and Minor International signed the Glasgow Declaration and a further 58 new signatories were announced, including Destination Canada, the Department for Tourism in Samarkand Region (Uzbekistan), HOTREC - Hotels, Restaurants & Cafés in Europe, among others. ➡️ Read the full story here: https://lnkd.in/e9EZMxst ➡️ Glasgow Declaration for Climate Action in Tourism: https://lnkd.in/e5uVUjRD

The One Planet network - 10YFP recently featured a newsletter highlighting an impactful video on ecolabels, created by Channel One in collaboration with the Ecological Union. This video, aired during World Ecolabel Day, showcases an excellent example of cost-effective communication. The ecolabelling program provided the idea and key information, while the TV team produced and distributed the content, reaching millions of viewers. Titled "The Pursuit of Sustainability: What Does an Ecolabel Guarantee for Consumers?", the segment aired in Saint Petersburg and the Leningrad Region of Russia, reaching an audience of over 5 million. Experts educated viewers on how to identify authentic eco-friendly products by focusing on the value of ecolabels, such as those from GEN members like the Vitality Leaf, Nordic Swan, EU Ecolabel, and ecolabels from Japan and Korea. The segment also spotlighted the Ecolabel Guide mobile app, a tool for verifying label credibility. Russian manufacturers shared their successes with ecolabel certification: TECHNONICOL Corporation, which produces Vitality Leaf-labeled insulation at nine factories, and Glorus-Nord, the country’s largest dishwasher product manufacturer, which supplies Lenta Life dishwasher tablets for the Lenta retail chain.
