The launch of the Climate Friendly Travel Registry for 2050 Climate Neutral & Sustainability Ambitions is hosted by SUNx Malta in partnership with the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) and Thompson Okanagan Tourism Association (TOTA). It is virtual event delivered during Climate Week NYC and in the side-lines of UN General Assembly.

As a transformation catalyst this Registry will be open to all Travel & Tourism companies and communities, whether or not they have created a 2050 Carbon Neutral Ambition yet. It will cover transport, hospitality, travel services, and infrastructure providers - from the smallest to the largest, anywhere in the world. It will also be a conduit to the mainstream UN Climate Action Portal.
