Beginning in February 2022, a portion of every trip booked through kimkim will go toward the removal of carbon from the atmosphere. When you plan your trip with us, you'll reduce your impact and support the long-term fight against the effects of climate change.

What is the Kimkim Climate Initiative?

At kimkim, we're passionate about the positive social and economic impacts that travel generates in our destinations—but we also recognize that travel contributes to climate change.

Climate change poses a risk to our world's environment and communities. We believe the travel industry must take a leadership role in this challenge, and we've elected to do so by helping to support the advancement of carbon removal technology. Removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and storing it permanently will be vital to realize the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's goal of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celcius.

We're initiating a new effort in February 2022 to support carbon removal in partnership with kimkim's travelers, local specialists, and Tomorrow's Air, a collective of travelers who are working together to clean up carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and permanently store it. We also will support impactful climate initiatives sourced from our local specialists around the world.

As with our prior Climate Neutrality Initiative, we hope to inspire other businesses—and travelers around the world—to confront the challenge presented by climate change.

  • Plan a trip to any kimkim destination
  • Your per-traveler contribution is automatically added to the cost of your trip
  • Kimkim and your local specialist match your contribution
  • The shared cost goes toward removing 14kgs of carbon from the atmosphere through Tomorrow's Air

Partnering for Impact

The per-traveler contribution of $20.00 is split between you, kimkim, and your local specialist. Our initiative is collaborative, and all our stakeholders can take pride in doing their part.

When you book a trip, your $10.00 contribution will be automatically added to the trip price, multiplied by the number of travelers in your group. Kimkim and your local specialist then match each traveler's contribution with another $10.00. Each individual contribution is small—but cumulatively, they have a large and lasting impact.

Supporting Local Specialist Initiatives

Kimkim partners lead a number of initiatives, including work with locals to conserve land in northern Peru

In addition to our carbon removal efforts, kimkim will invest 20% of our climate fund into an impactful sustainability initiative from one of our local specialists. Our local partners will submit proposals for these funds, which will be awarded through a competitive grant process at the end of 2022. We will share more information on the selected project at that time.
