At Choose a Challenge we firmly believe that challenge events are one of the most worthwhile activities that a person can choose to do. They combine the exercising of the desire to challenge oneself, with fundraising for worthwhile charitable causes and discovering some of the world’s most treasured sites. As part of this, we believe that for any trip to be worth running, it should be carried out in a sustainable, ethical and transparent operational manner - from initial booking, to your return home, and we are committed to ethical and sustainable practices in all areas of our work.
CARBON OFFSETTING
Carbon offsetting is the counteracting of carbon dioxide emissions with an equivalent reduction of carbon dioxide (CO₂) in the atmosphere. This is usually done by contributing to a climate cause which actively removes carbon from the air, for example through planting trees.
For the first time, in 2020, we are offering all of our participants the opportunity to offset the vast majority of their trip’s carbon emissions.

The Choose a Challenge Tree Planting Project
We’ve been supporting tree-planting in Zambia Luanshya through WeForest since August 2019. Your contributions to offset your flights will help us on our journey to carbon neutrality by supporting the smallholder farmers in reversing deforestation there. Find out more here.
