Climate Action Award

In line with the Outlook 2030 strategy’s ambition for sustainable and responsible growth, it is important that the tourism and events industry in Scotland continues to develop in a responsible way.  Tackling climate change is one of the biggest long-term challenges facing Scottish tourism now, and in the future, and we want to inspire future generations to say that Scottish tourism made a difference and led the way to net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2045.   

The purpose of this award is to celebrate success across business, events, and destinations, who have made demonstrable progress on their climate action journey to NetZero. This can include the measurement and monitoring of emissions, taking general action to decarbonise, as well as communicating and collaborating with their staff, customers, and broader stakeholders to deliver climate action. 

Who should enter?

This award is for any tourism businesses, events or destinations that set an excellent standard for Responsible Tourism practices and can serve as an example to the tourism industry, by emphasising their commitment to reducing carbon emissions, taking climate change action and contributing to the drive to Net Zero emissions whilst engaging within and beyond their business.
