Tourism Declares a Climate Emergency

In Rwanda we are seeing the impacts of the climate emergency first hand. There is food insecurity caused by droughts and floods, landslides that are exacerbated by past deforestation and severe soil erosion are directly impacting local people, 70% of whom live in rural communities. The urgent need to change the way we do business is unequivocal. Kingfisher Journeys therefore stands with the people of Rwanda as we make the Tourism Declares a Climate Emergency Declaration:

We declare our shared commitment to unite all stakeholders in transforming tourism to deliver effective climate action. 

We support the global commitment to halve emissions by 2030 and reach Net Zero as soon as possible before 2050. 

We will consistently align our actions with the latest scientific recommendations, so as to ensure our approach remains consistent with a rise of no more than 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels by 2100.

As a signatory, we commit to:

  1. Deliver a climate action plan within 12 month of signing.

  2. Report publicly both progress against interim and long-term targets, as well as the actions being taken, at least annually.

  3. Align our plan with five shared pathways (measure, decarbonise, regenerate, collaborate, finance) to ensure climate action is consistent across all of tourism.

  4. Share information on activities connected to Tourism Declares and/or the Glasgow Declaration among contacts and networks.

  5. Work in a collaborative and constructive spirit with other members of Tourism Declares and/or signatories of the Glasgow Declaration.

​Prices shown in USD including all Rwandan taxes. To Pay in RWF, request an offline booking see Payment Options for details.
Foreign medical insurance is not sufficient to cover helicopter evacuation in Rwanda so all our tours include emergency evacuation insurance as standard. We also strongly recommend emergency evacuation insurance to everyone travelling in Rwanda.
​We pay fair wages and always contribute to the pensions, maternity and community health schemes for everyone who works for us.
