You have to measure what you manage
In British Columbia, the government has set a target to lower climate-changing emissions by 40% by 2030. The tourism industry has a role in helping to meet that target.
This document summarizes efforts of tourism businesses in BC on environmental sustainability and climate resiliency indicators collected in 2025, including emissions, waste, and climate adaptation. Information and actions your business can do to measure and track your sustainability performance are also included. For more information about this project and related definitions, please visit the BC Tourism Climate Resiliency Initiative’s (BCTCRI) Sustainability & Climate Adaptation Data framework project website.
Did you know? Measuring sustainability is an important component to meet climate action targets and build climate change resilience. With so many broad and differing sustainability definitions and hundreds of frameworks globally, there’s limited consensus on what and how to measure. That’s why the BCTCRI team reviewed over 30 different measurement frameworks within BC and around the world to identify measures tailored to what matters most for the tourism industry in BC.
Measure 1: Emissions
Measure 2: Waste
Measure3: Climate adoption
