Climate Neutral Destinations kick-off created a basis for successful cooperation!

The challenge is complex as 50 % of the carbon footprint of global tourism comes solely from the transport. However, our inspirational guest speaker Ed Gillespie encouraged to make brave openings and use the project energy to empower own and also other destinations for a new way of thinking. Ed is the author of ‘Only Planet – a flight-free adventure around the world’ a book about his circumnavigation of the globe without getting on a plane.

The kick-off was successful in discussing the added value of working with eight destinations in the Baltic Sea region to make a change and show the way to others with appealing examples!
