Tourism's Climate Promises Span 20 Years — With Few Results, Study Finds
Despite two decades of climate pledges, tourism emissions are still rising and many commitments remain unfulfilled. UN Tourism says it's time to focus on the future, but real credibility will depend on whether the next wave of promises leads to measurable change. Despite decades of climate pledges, hardly any of them have led to change or a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, according to a new study by researchers at Linnaeus University in Sweden and the University of Waterloo in Canada. The paper, by Stefan Gössling and Daniel Scott, looked at the four main international climate declarations signed by governments, tourism bodies, and businesses going back to 2003. The researchers argued that emissions from tourism are still rising, and the sector is not on track to cut them by half by 2030, as many groups have pledged. 'The tourism sector's response to climate change over the last two decades, has been insufficient,' the study said. The most recent estimates of tourism's contributions to greenhouse gas emissions are around 9%, making it one of the biggest polluting sectors. 'It has taken 20 years just to build basic systems to measure emissions,' the authors said. 'In another 20 years, the sector is expected to be close to net zero. That's a vastly more complex and costly goal.' Gössling recently told Skift that while the tourism sector is one of the most exposed to the impacts of climate change, it could become a leader. 'We need systemic change, yes. But we also need pioneers. And tourism, ironically one of the sectors most exposed - can become a leader.' A Long List of Tourism Climate Declarations Many of the agreements the researchers reviewed were led or coordinated by UN Tourism, then known as the UN World Tourism Organization. The Djerba Declaration, 2003: It warned of rising heat in Europe and a shift in peak travel seasons. It emphasized planning and knowledge-sharing and 45 countries signed on. The Davos Declaration, 2007: It estimated that tourism contributed 5% of direct global greenhouse gas emissions and pledged a system for emissions monitoring. But no tracking system was created and no emission targets were set. The Glasgow Declaration, 2021: This declaration was driven by travel businesses and organizations. It was signed at the UN climate talks in 2021 in Scotland by over 900 organizations, including Booking Holdings, Expedia, and Accor. No major airlines signed on. The study noted that despite strong pledges, fewer than 30% of signatories had submitted a climate action plan by late 2024. UN Tourism said the Glasgow Declaration was still an important step forward because, for the first time, it included a monitoring framework. 'We are working on the first progress report which should be out in the next few months,' said Virginia Fernandez, programme coordinator at UN Tourism. Baku Declaration, 2024: 69 countries and nine non-state actors signed a declaration at the UN climate talks in Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan, once again emphasizing tourism's climate vulnerability and the need for urgent action. Countries that signed include Brazil, Canada, Denmark, Spain, Israel, Portugal, Russia and Kenya. But Gössling and Scott criticized the language for being too vague. Phrases like 'where applicable' and 'where relevant' led the study's authors to question how serious the industry is about acting. Fernandez said the Baku Declaration was different from past agreements because it was signed not just by tourism ministries, but by entire governments. 'This is the most significant agreement in travel and tourism to date,' she said. A New Global Partnership? One of the most promising outcomes of the Baku Declaration could be the launch of a new global coordination group for climate action in tourism, to be led by UN Tourism, the study authors said. But so far, no timeline or structure has been announced. UN Tourism told Skift the planning is ongoing and confirmed it will take the lead on the partnership. It acknowledged that the tourism sector needs alignment on climate goals and that the agency was best placed to take on this role. 'We can say UN Tourism will lead on this and make the decisions and tell people what to do. That would be quicker,' Fernandez said. 'But will it be more effective if we have a variety of stakeholders at the table - such as businesses, non-state actors, governments, tourism bodies. That way any agreements will be collective ones and I think that will be more effective in the long run.'

H&M Billionaire Quietly Moves Retailer Toward Private Ownership
Hennes & Mauritz AB, the fast-fashion retailer that's been listed on the Swedish stock market since 1974, is steadily moving back toward private ownership. The founding family has stepped up purchases of H&M shares, spending more than 63 billion kronor ($6.6 billion) since 2016 and fuelling speculation it could take the Stockholm-based company back into private hands — despite denials from family members. The Perssons, one of Sweden's wealthiest families, have amassed a growing stake through holding company Ramsbury Invest, saying little about their intentions other than that they 'believe' in H&M, which was founded in 1947 by Erling Persson. The media-shy clan is now getting within striking distance of full control of the retailer, which in recent years has been losing ground among shoppers to its main rival Zara and 'ultra-fast fashion' upstarts like Shein. 'This is something we've been talking about for years, and few would doubt that's the direction things are headed,' said Sverre Linton, chief legal officer and spokesperson for the Swedish Shareholders' Association, which represents small stock investors. If the family doesn't plan to take H&M private, it should communicate that more clearly and stop buying shares, he added. Within Striking Distance of Full Control The family has ramped up insider buying by reinvesting dividends, boosting its H&M stake to almost 64 percent from 35.5 percent over the past nine years via Ramsbury, a vehicle named after billionaire Stefan Persson's sprawling estate, one of the largest private landholdings in southern England. Including extended family holdings, the Perssons now control roughly 70 percent of the capital and some 85 percent of voting rights, according to H&M's website. In an interview last year with Bloomberg, H&M Chairman Karl-Johan Persson — grandson of the founder — dismissed talk that the family intended to take the company private. 'There are no plans,' he said. 'We just buy because we believe in the company.' Representatives at Ramsbury Invest and H&M declined to comment. Analysts including Niklas Ekman at DNB Carnegie say the regular purchases could be more than a show of confidence in the retailer. In a note to clients last month, he estimated that if the family keeps acquiring shares at the same pace a buyout could come as early as two years from now. If the family's holding reached 90 percent, it could request a de-listing of the shares. A take-private would be 'based on emotional rather than financial motives,' Ekman wrote, given that the family already has a controlling stake and has long managed the company with little regard for minority shareholders. He attributed the push to patriarch Stefan Persson, 77, who built H&M into one of the world's largest fast-fashion retailers during his 16 years as chief executive officer and more than two decades as chairman. He remains deeply invested in the company's future. Stefan's fortune amounts to $18.6 billion, mostly in H&M stock, making him the richest person in Sweden, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. He bought the 3,000-acre Ramsbury estate in 1997 and has since expanded it to 19,000 acres, building a brewery, distillery and oil press on the property. His son Karl-Johan, who took over as H&M chairman in 2020 after serving as CEO, also holds an active role at Ramsbury Invest. He has voiced frustration in interviews with the stock market's short-term focus on maximizing profits. 'They've never, at least in modern times, expressed a strong desire to remain public,' said Daniel Schmidt, an analyst at Danske Bank. 'I would say that transparency has always been a part of it.' H&M's shares reached an all-time high about a decade ago, and have since fallen by around 60 percent, valuing the group at 220 billion kronor. Zara owner Inditex SA, by contrast, has climbed about 60 percent over that period. For the Perssons, the sagging stock price is no doubt a frustration, but also presents an opportunity by making full control more attainable. At the current price it would cost the family at least 70 billion kronor to buy the remaining outstanding shares, according to Ekman. That would likely require them to take on debt. A delisting would probably also require a premium, according to Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Charles Allen. 'If the bid were financed by debt then it may reduce the company's operating flexibility,' Allen said. 'It wouldn't really matter if the debt was in the company or the family as either way cash flow would have to be diverted from investment to pay interest and then repay.' Operationally, the fast-fashion retailer appears stuck in the slow lane, facing tepid demand for its apparel, fierce competition and now US tariffs. The first-quarter results were weaker than analysts had expected and showed that efforts to claw back customers through higher marketing spending hadn't brought a rebound. CEO Daniel Erver, an H&M veteran who took the top job last January, was involved in setting the current strategy and has yet to reverse market share losses in countries including Germany, France and the UK. Attempts to reconnect with younger audiences through collaborations, such as with pop artist Charli XCX, haven't significantly boosted growth. H&M Shares Continue to Underperform Rival Inditex H&M has been criticised for a lack of transparency over sudden management changes and being the only company in Stockholm's benchmark index not to disclose the shareholdings of its top executive team. 'Obviously, being a listed company puts management under more scrutiny than if they were private, but it also presumably offers some incentives to management and other employees that would not be available if it were private,' BI's Allen said. Anders Oscarsson, the head of equities at AMF, one of Sweden's biggest pension managers and the largest non-family shareholder, said he hasn't heard the family say anything about taking H&M private, and that such a move would be a big loss for investors. 'It would be sad if the company disappears from the stock exchange,' he said. 'If we're to generate returns from the stock market, we need strong companies listed.' Yet if the family's purchases lead to a marked deterioration in the stock's liquidity, that wouldn't be a good outcome either. 'It might become a bit like Hotel California — where you can neither check in nor check out.' By Rafaela Lindeberg

H&M Billionaire Quietly Moves Brand Toward Private Ownership
(Bloomberg) -- Hennes & Mauritz AB, the fast-fashion retailer that's been listed on the Swedish stock market since 1974, is steadily moving back toward private ownership. Next Stop: Rancho Cucamonga! ICE Moves to DNA-Test Families Targeted for Deportation with New Contract Where Public Transit Systems Are Bouncing Back Around the World US Housing Agency Vulnerable to Fraud After DOGE Cuts, Documents Warn The Global Struggle to Build Safer Cars The founding family has stepped up purchases of H&M shares, spending more than 63 billion kronor ($6.6 billion) since 2016 to amass nearly two-thirds control and fueling speculation it could take the Stockholm-based company back into private hands — despite denials from family members.

'With the share price as subdued as it is currently, offering a small premium today, could potentially be cheaper if the share price recovers at some point in the future,' said Mads Lindegaard Rosendal, a senior analyst at Danske Bank. He said the potential risk of a take private is one of the reasons why Danske Bank has an 'underweight' rating on H&M, which is a 'company that is also struggling somewhat with their ongoing operational turnaround.' As one of the most shorted stocks in Europe, a buyout could force short sellers to unwind their negative bets on H&M and send the shares soaring. Shares out on loan, an indication of short interest, were at 21% of H&M's free float as of June 4, according to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence. H&M has been criticized for a lack of transparency over sudden management changes and being the only company in Stockholm's benchmark index not to disclose the shareholdings of its top executive team.
