The World Economic forum has ranked global change and its risk as one of the top issues for governments, business, and people to act upon. The impact of this climate change is seen on the hotel industry, by way of the change in environment, supply of the raw material, increase in rates. According to Sustainability Hospitality Alliance, the hotel sector contributes 1% global carbon emission, hence like any other industry, the hospitality industry is shifting their focus on being environment friendly while preparing and serving food and beverages in the market. The increased attention towards environment has made sure that consumers are talking climate change to understand all the responsible factors affecting carbon emission.
