Time Magazine lauds the Prince for environmental work

The Duke of Sussex supports conservation groups in Africa and says he really became an environmentalist during a trip in 2012 to the Caribbean when a 7-year-old boy told him that England’s environmental impact was damaging the coral reefs. After that interaction, he was inspired to start Travalyst (“travel” and “catalyst”), a nonprofit that provides people booking travel with emissions data so they can consider the most sustainable options. The aim is to help make a dent to the industry’s carbon footprint; tourism makes up about 11% of global greenhouse gas emissions.

Other Titans on the list include the President of the World Bank, President of Mexico, the Mayor of Paris, Bill Gates, the King of Bhutan, and the Secretary for the US Department of Energy.

  1. I am sorry is this serious 😭 Travalyst and Harry has not done a single thing to combat climate change. Since it’s launch in 2019 apart from announcing a campaign and some sponsorships it has not done anything.

  2. Being from the Caribbean, I’ve seen firsthand how damaging tourism can be to the environment, particularly to sensitive eco-systems like coral reefs. Cruise ships alone are major sources of pollution. I’m glad there are initiatives working towards making people more aware of this

  3. Happy for Harry and the team at Travalyst.
    This part from the article explains the why Travalyst was selected:

    “Travalyst worked with Google to create the Travel Impact Model, a free, publicly available methodology launched in 2022 that predicts per-passenger CO2 emissions produced by upcoming flights. Travalyst’s coalition of partners, representing a combined market value of $3 trillion, includes top tech companies used by tourists like Booking.com, Expedia Group, Mastercard, Skyscanner, Tripadvisor and Visa. On Sept. 12, Travalyst announced that its flight emissions data has appeared in 65 billion searches worldwide.”

  6. Travalyst is 5 years old non-profit, and it’s being used as an industry tool in partnership with Expedia, Amadeus, Mastercard, Visa, Trip Advisor, Sabre, Google and Skyscanner to name but a few.

    246 million people have chosen to book flights with lower CO2 emissions for that route on Skyscanner since 2019.

  7. Times article clearly lays out why

    Others: crying about it

  9. No one who continues to use private jets should be on this list – Harry or anyone else! What a joke!
