Caring

Travel provides a window on to this earth of ours, showing us its beauty and its pain. At LLTD we have taken our own small steps to share this beauty and magic with you while also trying to ameliorate distress and destruction. We are committed to being a sustainably managed company and to designing purposeful, conscious travel. This commitment is expressed in our participation in a community of global travel companies with whom we have joined in declaring a climate emergency.

Lisa Lindblad Travel Design is joining other global travel companies, organizations and individuals to declare a climate emergency and signed up to Tourism Declares.

1. With a collective aim to take purposeful and concrete action to reduce the carbon emissions as per the advice of The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) to cut global carbon emissions to 55% below 2017 levels by 2030.
2. We will develop a ‘Climate Emergency Plan’ within the next 12 months, which sets out our intentions to reduce carbon emission over the next decade.
3. It will set out our actions, measure and reduce our carbon emissions per travelers arising from our operations and the travel services sold by us.
4. We already do and will continue to work with suppliers and partners to help others make the same declaration, sharing best practice amongst peers and actively participate in the Tourism Declares community.
5. We will continue to advocate for positive change across the industry and continue to raise awareness and educate travel advisors and travelers on how to accelerate the transition towards zero carbon air travel and tourism.

We also wish to support organizations, large and small, that mean a lot to us. As an africanist, an anthropologist and an animal lover, I have focused my company’s resources on people and organizations that I care deeply about.
