How can standard methodologies on measuring greenhouse gas emissions be applied to AHT sectors? What kinds of new sustainability techniques and measures need to be developed specifically for AHT sectors?

Background

Research is also needed to help AHT’s understanding of international cultural markets, where the UK sits comparatively and the impact culture has on international diplomacy. Protecting the UK’s cultural assets and understanding ways to consolidate and make better use of crucial data across AHT sectors is also of interest and more research on best practice would be useful.
