This important move strengthens Sun Siyam Iru Fushi’s commitment to ethical and environmentally friendly operations by bringing the resort into line with international initiatives to lower carbon emissions and promote sustainable tourism practices. Our principles and dedication to sustainable methods are demonstrated by this dedication.
The travel and tourism industry comes together behind a common set of guidelines to expedite climate action through the Glasgow Declaration on Climate Action in Tourism. Sun Siyam Iru Fushi pledges to join this program in order to attain Net Zero emissions as soon as feasible, and most definitely before 2050, and to cut its carbon emissions by at least 50% over the following ten years. Under the resort-wide Sun Siyam Cares initiative, this pledge is a component of the resort’s larger sustainability plan. This program will direct our efforts to accomplish our climate action objectives and places a high priority on environmental stewardship, community support, and the preservation of the Maldives’ natural beauty.
In order to guarantee that the world temperature rises by no more than 1.5°C over pre-industrial levels by 2100, Sun Siyam Iru Fushi pledges to align its operations with the most recent scientific guidelines as a signatory to the Glasgow Declaration on Climate Action in Tourism. This entails completing or revising climate action plans within a year, coordinating plans with the five routes outlined in the Declaration, submitting an annual report to the public, and cooperating to exchange best practices and solutions.
Important Promises Made by Sun Siyam Iru Fushi:
- Support Global Climate Goals: In accordance with global climate objectives, cut emissions in half by 2030 and reach Net Zero by 2050.
- Create Climate Action Plans: Within a year, create or revise climate action plans that follow the five routes outlined in the Declaration: Measure, Decarbonise, Regenerate, Collaborate, and Finance.
- Annual Reporting: To ensure accountability and transparency, publicly report progress each year against both short- and long-term goals.
- Collaborative Spirit: Encourage a cooperative approach to accomplishing global sustainability goals by exchanging best practices, ideas, and insights with colleagues in the business.
In order to inspire climate action, the Glasgow Declaration on Climate Action in Tourism brings together the most recent research and international knowledge. It is supplemented by Recommended Actions for tourism stakeholders globally to take into account as part of their action planning and is hosted on the website of the One Planet Sustainable Tourism Programme. According to the Declaration, a fair transition to Net Zero by 2050 will only be achievable if the revival of the tourist industry spurs the adoption of sustainable production and consumption practices, redefining success in the future to take biodiversity, ecosystems, and communities into account.
