Carbon passports could be introduced to limit the frequency of foreign holidays for UK residents, as part of efforts to combat climate change. Tourism is a significant contributor to climate change, accounting for approximately one-tenth of the greenhouse gas emissions driving the crisis.
The average annual carbon footprint for a person in the UK is 11.7 tonnes - over five times the figure recommended by the Paris Agreement to keep global temperature rise below 1.5°C. The global average is closer to 4 tonnes, and needs to drop to under 2 tonnes by 2050 to stand a chance of slowing climate change.
