The TPCC establishes a global network of experts to catalyze collaboration between the scientific community and tourism stakeholders to identify a strategic research agenda and help rapidly advance climate action.

The TPCC includes diverse experts from 31 countries, representing all IPCC regions and United Nations World Tourism Organization regions. This global collaboration connects the research and experience of multidisciplinary scholars from 35 leading universities as well as professionals from UN Agencies, governments, industry associations and business, destination organizations and civil society organizations. Building capacity among the next generation of scholars and in highly vulnerable tourism regions are also important goals of the TPCC.

Important differences in climate change knowledge exists across academic, practitioner, and political domains, with information availability, access, and transferability barriers that must be addressed to accelerate climate action across the sector.
