The need for action
Maximising the take-up of Flight Free pledges is a priority. Organisations can do a lot of the groundwork by establishing a leadership role in encouraging this take-up. Get your climate action group, community organisation, NGO, workplace or business on board supporting the Flight Free pledge.
Goals and targets: The establishment of a community of organisations who have adopted a DePlaning Plan.
How we get there: Establish a DePlaning Plan template for businesses and organisations to use in developing their own Plan. Such a template could include commitments to:
– encourage employees to make the Flight Free pledge;
– assign responsibility to selected personnel for the education of all employees around the Plans goals;
– ensure personnel policies that promote DePlaning;
– sharing their experience in progressing their Plan with other like-minded organisations;
– audit, evaluate and report on progress annually; and
– make public the adoption of this DePlaning Plan, by placing a link to our Plan on the home page of our website, and by as many other means as possible.
