The Kaikoura District Council is proud to be the first local authority in the world, and the second community in the world, to achieve Green Globe certification in recognition of our commitment to protecting our environment and working towards sustainability for our residents and visitors, and for the generations to come.
Green Globe is an international tourism standard developed after the 1992 United Nations Earth Summit. The standards were developed to address the environmental problems tourism throughout the world contributes to.
Kaikoura has a stunning environment which is important to the community and attracts close to 1 million visitors each year. Throughout the Kaikoura community the value in looking after the environment, for the community, the tourists and the next generation has become increasingly important - Green Globe offers a framework to reduce the environmental impact of the community and the visitors.
Kaikoura is the first local authority in the world to achieve Green Globe certification.
