India among top three contributors to tourism emissions during 2009-2019, study estimates - Economic Times

Quick Summary:

If the world's top 20 highest emitting destinations had contained their tourism growth rate by one per cent a year from 2009 to 2019, about 0.38 gigatonnes of emissions could have been reduced in 2019 -- representing seven per cent of the world's tourism emissions, the team estimated.

The author added that the trend does not comply with the Paris Agreement, according to which the sector is required to cut its emissions by over 10 per cent every year.

"Without urgent interventions in the global tourism industry, we anticipate annual increases in emissions of three to four per cent, meaning they will double every 20 years," Sun said.
