Green Globe & Bays of Huatulco

Green Globe is a Benchmarking, Certification and Performance Improvement programme based on the Agenda 21 principles for sustainable development agreed to by 182 Heads of Government at the United Nations Rio Earth Summit of 1992. Green Globe is supported by the science and technology of the The Sustainable Tourism CRC (STCRC) , the largest source of sustainability research in the world.

Green Globe is based upon the Agenda 21 Plan which was originally endorsed by 182 heads of state at the Rio Earth Summit of 1992 and provided a set of principles for local, state, national and international action on sustainable development. This resulted in Agenda 21 for the Travel and Tourism Industry: Towards Environmentally Sustainable Development , which listed an action plan for a number of overall objectives for the industry.

The overall plan aimed to convert the objectives into specific targets, and named ten areas in which travel and tourism operations could take action, including:

• Waste minimisation, reuse, recycling.
• Energy efficiency, conservation, management.
• Management of freshwater resources.
• Waste water management.
• Hazardous substances.
• Transport.
• Land-use planning and management.
• Involvement of staff, customers, communities in environmental issues.
• Design for sustainability; and partnerships for sustainable development.
