As an industry, we need to embrace transformative change. Greenwashing and inaction are no longer acceptable. NOW asks the right questions and provides insights and advice on what best practice actually looks like.

Panos Almyrantis, President EHMA
It was clear that NOW would take us on a focused and thorough sustainability journey and we specially like the idea of striving towards accreditation for our actions. We are aiming high in all that we do and this includes our goal to achieve Net Negative Emissions. NOW is most definitely proving to be a Force for Good.
Positive Hospitality
Sue Williams, Founder (exGM, Whatley Manor)
NOW is clearly ahead of the game - setting best practice, offering certification tools, and creating signalling effects. We think that, as the climate emergency intensifies, such organisations will put into motion a snowball cascade effect. Expansion will be exponential, not linear. Latecomers and doubters beware.

Why We Need to Wake Up NOW
Tourism is highly vulnerable to the effects of climate change, yet it continues to be a significant contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) and poses pressures on ecosystems. Its’ future resilience will depend on the sector’s ability to transform into a low carbon sector by scaling up climate action and decarbonise its operations, travel and entire supply chain; and decrease pollution and stop habitat loss.
Hospitality businesses that are seriously accountable and transparent around sustainability, regulation compliant, and remove more carbon than they emit are what more travellers will be demanding, investors backing and global governments legislating for.
Why We Need to Wake Up NOW
Tourism is highly vulnerable to the effects of climate change, yet it continues to be a significant contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions and poses pressures on ecosystems. It must transform into a low carbon sector that not only contributes to economic growth and development and combats systemic inequality, but also to sustainability worldwide.
