An independent science-based international collaboration called the Tourism Panel on Climate Change ( TPCC ) brings together thought leaders from all over the world to inform and quickly advance climate action throughout the global tourism system.
In order to accelerate climate action in accordance with necessary pollution reduction pathways, the TPCC is dedicated to altering how we think about commerce and enhancing client and scientific community cooperation. The labor by TPCC is based on the following fundamental principles:
Science-based solutions are guided by the best available credible science and knowledge as we face the challenging challenges of climate change.
Open and transparent: To assure an objective and thorough assessment and technology assessment that reflects various expertise and ensures widespread sharing of knowledge and shared learning, we are clear in our operations as well as our review processes.

( ii ) A critical evaluation of the GHG mitigation strategy used by international aviation by economist Chris Lyle.
The TPCC Executive Board made the following declaration:
More than 60 eminent academics and industry professionals from our current Survey of the Tourism Sector demonstrated that we are not moving quickly enough or far enough to meet our obligations under the Paris 2030 and 2050 International Climate Targets. Our TPCC Horizon documents are cutting-edge” consider parts” that encourage decisive action. They are peer-reviewed and commissioned from respected experts in the field. These will be produced frequently in between our yearly significant science-based information on how tourism and the climate crisis interact.

The TPCC is a separate and independent organization that supports the development of climate-resilient commerce and the transition to net-zero emissions.

Professor Harold Goodwin’s” Travel and The Doughnut Economy”
The philosophical threat of climate change is perhaps the biggest problem facing go &, hospitality, and humanity. The travel and tourism sector is negatively impacted by the extreme weather events that are a result of climate change and contributes to it through its GHG pollution. Today, the industry must adapt and alleviate.
This Horizon Paper’s Piece I aims to prove that the Earth is fixed, that growth has its limits, climate change poses an existential threat, and that denial is risky.
Part II addresses the issue of how to define concepts like” sustainability” and” weather resilience” in the context of interconnected problems.
In Part III, which focuses on Kate Raworth’s “doughnut economics,” or seven ways of rethinking economy for the 21st century, the discussion of development restrictions and celestial effects is examined.
Part IV discusses the effects of insufficient activity on travel and tourism in a developing, climate-constrained earth.

Chris Lyle’s” International Aviation Climate Change Mitigation Policy: A Vital Assessment”
The “increasingly dominant contributor” to the greenhouse gas ( GHG ) emissions of international travel andamp, tourism is aviation.
The “aspirational” goal of” net zero” by 2050 is shared by the International Civil Aviation Organization ( ICAO ) and numerous other airline and regulatory authorities. However, they do n’t give intermediate targets much thought.
In light of national regulations, Chris Lyle, the founder of air transport economics, examines the connection between and mitigation efforts of the ICAO, UNFCCC, and European Union ( EU).
Bob suggests ways to expand on this framework in order to achieve the objectives of the Paris Climate Agreement, arguing that different countries should be free to implement more optimistic initiatives on their own.

Aviation Emissions: Green Tourism’s Achilles’Heel
The founder of air transportation economics, Chris Lyle, examines current significant studies on the viability, factor, and related policy frameworks of initiatives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from air travel.
In his Horizon Paper, he considers “paths forth and “deep dives” into crucial aspects of aviation emissions reduction and puts out some important points for policymakers to take into account. He also addresses the collective incapacity of those measures to achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement. New aircraft power sources, particularly sustainable aviation fuel ( SAF ), will be the game-changing force, according to the author.
Lyle comes to the conclusion that new thinking is desperately needed and advises the tourism industry to “get more immediately involved” in the decarbonization of aviation lest it turn into a distressed or perhaps stranded asset.

The Importance of Climate Risk Assessment in Tourism
The Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD ) of the G20 is reviewed by Bijan Khazai and his associates at RisklayerGmbH.
The authors note that a growing number of shareholders are enquiring about how climate change will affect their long-term financial performance and predict that this trend will only get worse over time.
Their Horizon Paper proposes a financial risk disclosure tool that might be helpful for the tourism industry in TCFD compliance after examining widely used climate risk assessment decision support tools in tourism ( largely ill-suited ).

At COP27, the new First of its Kind Climate Change Tourism Panel ( TPCC ) was unveiled today.
The Climate Change Tourism Panel
More than 60 climate scientists and tourism experts make up the independent organization known as the Tourism Panel on Climate Change ( TPCC), which offers current state assessments of the tourism sector as well as objective metrics to public and private sector decision-makers.
The TPCC was established in November 2022 at the United Nations Climate Change Conference ( COP27 ) in Sharm El-Sheikh with the mission of advancing science-based climate action throughout the world’s tourism system in support of the Paris Climate Agreement.
