Global Sustainable Experience is the first global initiative to catalyse collective actions, innovations and solutions to accelerate climate action and circular economy of plastics in Tourism. From day one, GUAVA is the only solution provider globally to be part of United Nations' Glasgow Declaration Climate Action In Tourism and Global Tourism Plastic Initiative.
Pillars of Global Sustainable Experience
The Glasgow Declaration on Climate Action in Tourism presents a unified framework for tourism stakeholders to accelerate climate action and contribute to the achievement of the goals set in the Paris Agreement 2015.
Building a circular economy of plastics
The Global Tourism Plastics Initiative unites the tourism sector behind a common vision to address the
root causes of plastic pollution.
The Urgency for Collective Actions, Innovations and Solutions
to Accelerate Climate Action and Circular Economy of Plastics in Tourism
According to United Nations, systems change is needed to address global challenges such as climate change and circular economy of plastics. This requires collective coordination to work on collective understanding of the situation, collective investment and ultimately collective innovations and solutions.
Principles of Global Sustainable Experience
Global Sustainable Experience seeks to form an inclusive community of action where like-minded organizations and individuals are invited to join and contribute depending on their ambitions and readiness. Global Sustainable Experience offers opportunities to collaborate and make a real difference regardless of one's sustainability maturity.
Systemic and catalytic transformation in high impact sectors or systems: promoting transformative outcomes
Advancing transformative outcomes is integral to our mission. Within the tourism programme, we are actively witnessing this transformation unfold through a variety of initiatives. The Glasgow Declaration and Global Tourism Plastic Initiative serve as prime examples of how concerted efforts are driving sustainable change within the tourism sector. These initiatives are pivotal in fostering resilience and sustainability, ensuring a brighter future for our planet and communities.
