Progress is being made toward Destination Queenstown's ambitious carbon zero 2030 target

The keystone project launched in 2022 aims to make Queenstown the first tourist destination in the world, with a completely carbon-zero visitor economy by 2030.

CEO Mat Woods says they set the extra ambitious goal to encourage people to make urgent change.

He says there's always more they can do - and they're realistic the goal may not be achieved in the next four years.
