The study, covering the entire tourism supply chain \u2014 everything from flights to souvenirs \u2014 found emissions from the sector surged by 40 per cent over the past decade, reaching 5.2 gigatonnes in 2019.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s equivalent to the emissions of 1.13 billion cars on the road for a year. Tourism now accounts for 9 per cent of the world&#8217;s total emissions, with experts warning the figure could double every 20 years, fuelled by a growing desire to explore the world. The study \u2014 which also included researchers from Griffith University, the University of Sydney, and Sweden&#8217;s Linnaeus University \u2014 analysed tourism patterns across 175 countries in the decade to 2019. It found air travel and private vehicle use \u2014 including hire cars \u2014 were the largest contributors to tourism&#8217;s carbon footprint. Air travel was responsible for more than half of direct tourism emissions.<\/p>\n<p>The United States, China, and India were responsible for 60 per cent of the total increase in tourism emissions, while Australia ranked 12th on a list of countries with the biggest carbon footprint. The report found that while the COVID-19 pandemic temporarily eased tourism&#8217;s climate impact, the swift recovery in global demand meant emissions had returned to 2019 levels.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.abc.net.au\/news\/2024-12-11\/tourism-air-travel-carbon-emissions-surge-environment\/104701158\">ABC<\/a><\/p>\n<p><p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/6-632\/\">Tourism emissions surge over last decade and now make up 9 per cent of global total, report finds<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[703,575,1305],"class_list":["post-135972","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-emissions","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-tourism"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135972","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=135972"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135972\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=135972"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=135972"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=135972"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
