This one-day symposium brings together global experts to share insights and discuss progress on how tourism adapts to climate change, reduces emissions and moves towards decarbonisation, integrates tourism growth with sustainable development, and understands new opportunities for developing destinations that are climate resilient and sustainable. The meeting is also an important milestone for a larger global conference on climate change and tourism to be held in 2019 in China. The international day is organised with support from the Griffith Institute for Tourism, Australia.
