Climate Donations
giving back more than we take away
Unfortunately, many aspects of the travel industry are currently impossible to decarbonise, in particular the international flights our guests take to get to our trips. As we cannot eliminate all sources of carbon emissions for our tours, we donate 1% of all trip costs to effective climate charities.
In order to ensure our donations result in the biggest positive impact possible, we sought advice from Giving Green.
Giving Green is a nonprofit research team of climate scientists, economists and impact evaluation experts. They spend thousands of hours each year assessing climate impact strategies and evaluating which organisations are the most cost-effective in terms of their impact.
The Clean Air Task Force has been ranked as one of Giving Green’s top charities since 2020. We have therefore chosen the Clean Air Task Force as our charity for climate donations for 2024/2025.
About Clean Air Task Force
Clean Air Task Force works to reduce air pollution, combat climate change and promote clean energy solutions through scientific advocacy, policy reform and technological innovation.
For every pound you donate, you mitigate just over one ton of carbon = more emissions than a transatlantic flight.
The Clean Air Task Force’s Key Successes
2024: EU Methane Regulation – Collaborated with the EU to establish groundbreaking methane regulations, including limits on upstream emissions for imported fossil fuels, ensuring global impact.
2022: Inflation Reduction Act – Advised on clean energy tax credits to promote carbon capture and storage technologies.
2021: Global Methane Pledge – Played a key role in securing a commitment from over 100 countries to reduce methane emissions by 30% by 2030.
2020: Bipartisan Energy Act – Secured $125 billion in federal funding for climate technologies.
1996: U.S. Power Plant Pollution Campaign – Led efforts to cut coal-fired power plant emissions by over 70%.
What is the impact of your donation?
Giving Green estimates that Clean Air Task Force mitigates one ton of carbon for every dollar donated. Donating £20 to CATF is therefore estimated to mitigate 26 tons of CO2 emissions (conversion of £20 to 26USD).
26 tons of carbon emissions is equivalent to:
Planting 1,300 trees [1]
or avoiding 16 transatlantic flights [2]
Or 10 people going car-free for a whole year [3]
