WHICH ISLAND SHOULD BE THE NEXT CARBON NEUTRAL DESTINATION?

We are currently leading a project to help Palau become the world’s first carbon neutral destination and preserve this pristine paradise for future generations. Now, we want to know: which island should be next?

Islands are on the frontline of climate change

Islands are highly vulnerable to the hazards of climate change thanks to their small size, remote locations, and coastal geographies. If action isn’t taken, climate change will wreak havoc on their fragile environments and jeopardize the survival of local communities.

We're helping them become more resilient

We’re establishing a new, carbon neutral model of tourism in Palau, but we’re not stopping there! Next year, we intend to bring this program to other island destinations and build upon our approach to catalyze widespread change.
