Environment Panel's recommendations on Travel & Climate Change
The Club is pleased to announce that the Environment Panel's recommendations on Travel & Climate Change are now available to members. The full text, including further reading and useful resources, can be found HERE. We hope that the advice will prove invaluabvle to both our members and the wider mountaineering community as we work together to preserve the mountain environments that we all treasure. The Club is indebted to the Panel for their work and particularly to Ed Douglas for his leadership on this issue.
The recommendations can be summarised by the following three-step approach:
1. Reflect on how you travel: the means and frequency.
2. Reduce the amount you fly.
3. Offset when you travel.
3. Offset when you travel.
However we would encourage all members to read the recommendations in full to gain a broad understanding of how these recommendations underpin our duty as alpinists to leave the mountains as we found them.
