LVR is Declaring a ClimateEmergency.
At Legacy Vacation Resorts we pride ourselves on continually pushing the status quo and driving to bea leader in the regenerative travel and hospitality industry. We are committed to transforming ourcompany and influencing our industry into one that is transparent, accountable and uses travel as aforce for good. Legacy Vacation Resorts is wholeheartedly committed to climate action and declared aclimate emergency via Tourism Declares in early 2020.
Tourism Declares seeks to enable all sectors of the travel industry to declare a climate emergency anddevelop appropriate climate action plans to reduce carbon emissions by 2030, in line with what sciencesays is needed and experience says works. What does it mean to declare a climate emergency? Manynational and regional governments, as well as sectors and organizations across the globe have‘declared a climate emergency’. We are publicly acknowledging we are in a climate crisis, andcommitting to take bold steps in reducing carbon emissions to help limit a temperature rise to below
1.5°C by 2030.
As a signatory we have committed to the following five actions:
1. Develop a ‘Climate Action Plan’
Adopted by your executive board within 12 months of your initial declaration, or sooner ifpossible.
2. Share your commitment and progress publicly
Share your initial public declaration, your ‘Climate Action Plan’, and update on progress against
your targets each year.
3. Cut carbon emissions
Accept current IPCC advice stating the need to cut global carbon emissions to 55% below 2017
levels by 2030 to keep the planet within 1.5 degrees of warming.
4. Work together
Encourage suppliers and partners to make the same declaration; share best practice amongst
peers; and actively participate in the Tourism Declares community.
5. Advocate for change
Recognize the need for system change across the industry to accelerate a just transition towards
carbon-free tourism.
Legacy Vacation Resorts core values are centered on positive impact and leaving the world better than
we found it. We look forward to continuing and strengthening our climate action journey and are happy
to be bringing our employees, guests, and community along with us.
