The TPCC is an independent science-based international collaboration bringing together thought leaders around the world to inform and rapidly advance climate action across the global tourism system.
The TPCC is committed to changing the way we think about tourism and to strengthen the collaboration between the scientific and stakeholder communities to catalyse climate action in line with required emissions reductions pathways .

A lively discussion against the background of the TPCC 2023 Stocktake on why the tourism sector must better incorporate the realities of Planetary Boundaries into its actions and the applicability of Doughnut Economics as a guide.
The TPCC was established as an independent, stand alone body of for research and analysis of the critical interface between the code red climate crisis and the tourism sector.
Read MoreThe TPCC will identify indicators with reliable and open data sources to track important aspects of the relationship between climate change and tourism, including progress on sector commitments in support of Paris Climate Agreement goals. TPCC will publish an update of these metrics every 3 years.
Read MoreThe TPCC will undertake the first comprehensive synthesis in over 15 years, of the current state of tourism relevant knowledge about climate change emission trends, impacts, future risks, plus options for mitigation and adaptation. This assessment will include an open and transparent review process.
Read MoreThe TPCC will identify strategic knowledge gaps to meet the sector’s Paris Climate Agreement obligations and commission expert reviews or new analysis to support related policy and decision-making. The papers will be stand-alone and reflect the interpretation of science by the authors.
Read MoreThe IPCC 6th Assessment states that all pathways that limit global warming to 1.5°C with no or limited overshoot, and those that limit warming to 2°C involve rapid and deep GHG emission reductions in all sectors. It calls for GHG emissions to peak by 2025...
Climate change will transform tourism destinations, demand patterns, and investment for decades to come. TPCC brings together tourism thought leaders from around the world to meet this grand challenge and accelerate the evidence-based transition...
Tourism contributes between 5-8% to global emissions. An increasing number of organisations are committing to a net-zero target for 2050. Rapid emission reduction must start now and involve all sub-sectors. An immediate priority is mobility...
Tourism is a highly climate-exposed system and proactive adaptation is required to manage diverse physical climate risks. Assessing these & responding to these complex climate risks, is the focus of a Horizon Paper on evolving climate risk assessment.
Global leaders emphasize that solutions to climate change cannot be developed in silos. The TPCC represents a new era of collaboration to support climate action in tourism. The TPCC has convened over 60 of the world’s thought leaders on tourism and climate change from across academia, business, and civil society.
Lead Experts will bring unique and world-leading scientific expertise and knowledge, identify strategic topics and deliver Horizon Briefs. They will also provide input into indicators and data for the Stocktake, as well as undertake analysis and rigorous review to deliver the best-available knowledge through the science assessment. Three quarters (75%) of the top 20 contributors to the climate change and tourism scientific literature are part of the TPCC Lead Expert team.
