Intrepid has been on its carbon journey for more than 15 years, and in September 2020 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adventuretravelnews.com\/intrepid-travel-becomes-first-tour-operator-in-the-world-with-verified-science-based-targets\">we became the first and only tour operator in the world with verified-science based targets<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>While this is the most significant step we\u2019ve taken to address climate change since becoming carbon neutral in 2010, we further recognised that the climate crisis simply cannot be handled in isolation. To help, our Environmental Impact specialist, Dr. Susanne Etti, published a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/decarbonise-travel\/\">10-step guide to decarbonising your travel business<\/a> as a free resource for other travel companies. She continues to advise the wider industry as part of her work with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tourismdeclares.com\/\">Tourism Declares<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>For our travelers, you can expect more reliance on lower carbon alternatives in the years to come. We have already <a href=\"https:\/\/sustainablebrands.com\/read\/defining-the-next-economy\/intrepid-travel-offers-40-decarbonized-tours-amid-tourism-s-recovery\">launched 40+ decarbonised tours<\/a> and will be reviewing our top 50 itineraries by 2022 and remove flights of 90 minutes or less, where a suitable road or rail alternative exists.<\/p>\n<p>We are committed to building towards a 1.5\u00b0C future, and will be reporting on this annually via our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/newsroom\/company-documents\/annualreport\">annual report<\/a>, so you can track our progress.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4.
