How Valencia became the first city in the world to verify its tourism carbon emissions
While there’s been a lot of talk about environmental issues in many cities of late, says The Independent author Annie Bennett, Valencia has been busy actually making things happen with a pioneering sustainable tourism strategy. It is the first city in the world to verify its carbon emissions from tourism-related activities, part of a commitment to be a carbon-neutral destination by 2025.
“Valencia is aiming to become a “15-minute city”, with the key places where citizens and tourists are likely to want to go in a radius that is accessible on foot, by bike or by public transport within about a quarter of an hour.”
