climate change

For the past year “build back better” has become a rallying cry for tourism – but with borders opening up and vaccines rolling out around the world, it’s time to hold ourselves accountable and ask – how far have we really come in our pursuit to rebuild responsibly?

In case you missed them throughout the year with everything going on, here are some of Intrepid’s climate and sustainability initiatives that Dr Susanne Etti, Intrepid’s Climate Impact Specialist is most proud of from 2020.  

While the entire world unites under a shared fear, we must also remember to unite under a shared hope and a shared planet.

As travellers and human beings, we are clear that there is a Climate Emergency which requires immediate and radical action by our governments, our industry and our business.

Intrepid launched an emergency appeal via our non-profit, The Intrepid Foundation, with all funds going to the Australian Red Cross Bushfire Emergency Appeal.

Life today sees us navigating a world that is staring down the barrel of climate disaster. We see it every day in the rising sea levels, long-lasting heat waves, displaced animals and melting glaciers. We see it when we travel.

Seaweed is the unlikely hero of climate change. But it’s making waves as game-changing solution for our warming planet.

If there’s one reason to see Al Gore’s new documentary, it’s that it shows the power of people to influence governments and big businesses to create real change. The more people we have thinking, talking and getting fired up about climate change, the better.

Intrepid Co-Founder met with Al Gore again to discuss the progress that the world has made in grappling with climate change in the last decade.
