Join us for a dynamic 1.5-hour webinar on 18 June at 09h00 CET focusing on the pivotal role of the destination organisation to combat climate change through tourism and events.

Two sessions at different times will explore the multifaceted responsibilities of DMOs, CVBs, and more, highlighting the importance of their leadership, need for support, and facilitation roles in destination climate action. 


Our guest speakers  will provide valuable insights into:

• Leading by Example
  Discover how DMOs can "walk the talk" in their own organisations, implementing sustainable practices for the whole team to engage in, and setting a positive example for the wider tourism industry.
  
  
• Supporting Suppliers to Decarbonise
  Learn about strategies for organisations to support visitor economy businesses in measuring carbon emissions, receiving vital advice, and implementing climate-friendlier practices.
  
  
• Empowering Climate Action Leadership
  Explore how destination organisations can take a more active role in driving climate change mitigation and adaption by understanding carbon emissions at sector level, fostering collaboration with key partners, and ensuring strategic decision-making for the destination’s marketing and promotion.
