Carbon Neutral
What does Climate Neutral mean?
Climate neutrality simply means that an individual’s or company’s greenhouse emissions have been balanced out or neutralised through investing in projects that prevent the equivalent amount of emissions being released into the atmosphere. Climate Friendly supports renewable energy projects like wind and solar energy that directly address the root cause of global warming through replacing fossil fuels with clean energy production.
When you neutralise your emissions with Climate Friendly you’re going a step beyond canceling your emissions – you’re accelerating the transition to a clean energy future and contributing to the technologies that are the long-term solutions of climate change.
Neutralise Your Air Travel
Global Warming is an issue that concerns us all. With more people flying more often, travellers around the world must take responsibility for the impact they have on the environment. If you are committed to environmentally responsible travel, like we are at World Expeditions, we strongly encourage you to neutralise your air travel, as we do for all of our staff.
When you book your flights with us, we will include the amount that it costs to neutralise your air travel. It is then up to you whether you pay the full amount (a return airfare) or half the amount (a one-way airfare) to neutralise all of or part of your air travel. You may choose not to neutralize your air travel.
We have engaged respected carbon neutral service provider Climate Friendly and use their air travel calculator based on factors from the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and Greenhouse Gas Protocol. Air travel emissions are complex calculations and values vary between providers. We believe that Climate Friendly's calculator is the most accurate available and reflects the current scientific consensus.
Recently Climate Friendly was named as one of the four most credible flight neutralising companies in the world by an independent study done by Tufts University.
The integrity and quality of Climate Friendly’s service has attracted a host of progressive companies, government bodies and leading environment groups from all across the world, including WWF internationally, Australian Conservation Foundation, Tim Flannery and Greenpeace.
Climate Friendly supports renewable energy projects like wind and solar energy that directly address the root cause of global warming through immediately replacing fossil fuels with clean energy production. So you can be assured that when you choose to neutralise your flights booked through World Expeditions that you’re going a step beyond canceling your emissions – you’re accelerating the transition to a clean energy future and contributing to the long-term solutions of climate change.
