  • Inside Hilton’s Climate Strategy: How to Decarbonize Hotels You Don’t Own

    Inside Hilton’s Climate Strategy: How to Decarbonize Hotels You Don’t Own
    Nov 11 2025
    How can a global hotel brand cut emissions when it doesn’t actually own most of its properties? In this episode of GreenShift, host Darren Graham sits down with Jean Garris Hand, Global Head of Sustainability at Hilton, to explore how one of the world’s largest hospitality companies is tackling decarbonization across 9,000 hotels in 139 countries. Hand explains how Hilton’s “asset-light” model—where 90% of hotels are franchised—can actually be an advantage. From negotiating renewable energy contracts for hundreds of properties at once to creating shared sustainability platforms and incentive programs, Hilton is leveraging its scale to drive change. The conversation also covers the rise of cost-competitive renewables, the role of waste diversion and circular design, and how data reporting tools like LightStay are keeping every hotel accountable to global climate goals. Hilton’s model shows that climate action in hospitality isn’t about ownership—it’s about influence, innovation, and scale. --- You can follow all of Skift's climate coverage on our ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Climate Hub⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

  • Can Soil Carbon Credits Really Help Save the Planet?

    Can Soil Carbon Credits Really Help Save the Planet?
    Nov 4 2025
    What if the key to fighting climate change was right under our feet? In this episode of GreenShift, host Darin Graham visits a fourth-generation farmer in the English Fens who’s turning healthy soil into a climate solution. Working with Danish startup Agreena, Thomas Gent has adopted regenerative agriculture practices that store carbon underground — and turn those efforts into tradable soil carbon credits. We explore how these credits are verified, why big brands like Radisson Hotels and Ryanair are buying them, and what makes soil carbon both promising and controversial. Are these credits truly removing carbon, or just shifting it around on paper? Gent explains how regenerative farming builds resilience, cuts emissions, and could make agriculture part of the climate solution — if done right. --- You can follow all of Skift's climate coverage on our ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Climate Hub⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

  • The Hidden Carbon Cost of AI in Travel

    The Hidden Carbon Cost of AI in Travel
    Oct 28 2025
    Artificial intelligence is transforming travel — from flight optimization to customer personalization — but what about its climate footprint? In this episode of GreenShift, host Darin Graham speaks with Emma Cox, Chief Commercial Officer at Climeco, about the growing carbon cost of AI and what it means for travel companies racing to adopt it. Cox explains how training and running AI models consume massive amounts of energy, why data centers are becoming a new emissions frontier, and how businesses can start accounting for AI in their sustainability reports. Together, they unpack the balance between efficiency gains and rising energy demand, the role of credible carbon offsets, and how travelers can be empowered to make more informed choices. AI could help the industry cut emissions — or quietly make them worse. The question is: will travel companies start counting the carbon before it’s too late? --- You can follow all of Skift's climate coverage on our ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Climate Hub⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.
