Reducing Environmental Pollution Free Webinars
Upcoming Webinars for the tourism and hospitality industry
The Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE), the international organisation that coordinates Green Key and four other environmental programmes, released in 2021 its new 10-year strategic plan, called GAIA 20:30. This had three critical goals in mind; to empower climate action, reduce environmental pollution and protect global biodiversity. And progress is being made as people pull together. During the Biodiversity Campaign 2022, which was consisting of a set of activities focusing on the protection of global biodiversity, we have seen great progress from our global network.
But to truly achieve the ambitious goals set in the GAIA 20:30 strategy, and meet the even greater goal of keeping global warming below 1.5 degrees, we will need everyone’s support.
This is why Green Key is excited to introduce activities focusing on another goal of GAIA 20:30: The reduction of environmental pollution
More specifically, we want to focus on reducing litter, waste, and invisible pollutants by encouraging more responsible consumption (and production) of things and taking a more circular economy approach to the way the hospitality and tourism industry works.
Green Key has curated a series of industry specific webinars to address some of these topics:
