Announcing GreenShift, a New Podcast About Climate Change and Travel
The podcast where solutions-based journalism cuts through industry spin to spotlight real progress in travel sustainability.
Skift has launched a new climate podcast, GreenShift, a show exploring how the global travel industry is responding to the climate crisis.
Hosted by Darin Graham, climate reporter at Skift, GreenShift will feature straightforward conversations with leaders across travel and tourism.
The podcast dives into the sector's biggest climate challenges, highlights emerging solutions, and reports on the breakthrough technologies that could help reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Listen to the First Episode
Recent studies suggest travel is responsible for roughly 9% of global emissions and that share is only expected to grow and travel and tourism is widely seen as the fastest-growing sector in terms of greenhouse gas output.
The first season of GreenShift includes interviews with executives from Radisson Hotel Group, Delta Air Lines, Sabre, Travelyst, and more.
Each episode unpacks a different climate issue facing the industry, from greener jet fuel, hotel energy efficiency and the direct impacts of more frequent extreme weather. It asks what's working, what's not, and what still needs to happen.
Climate regulations are evolving fast, with governments and industry bodies introducing ambitious net-zero targets.
Aviation, for example, has committed to reaching net zero by 2050. That means slashing emissions as close to zero as possible and offsetting what's left. But how realistic are these timelines? And are companies actually making progress?
GreenShift is here to find out.
