Policy Guidance to Support Climate Action by National Tourism Administrations

Published on March 4, 2024

This policy guidance has been developed to assist governmental agencies dedicated to tourism to develop policies and initiatives that will support the low-carbon transition of the sector. This policy guidance provides examples of good practice from around the world to illustrate how NTAs can implement climate-enabling policy and other initiatives as well as benefit from climate initiatives in other sectors. It is complemented by a Glasgow Declaration signatory Pack for NTAs, which provides practical recommendations on how to get started with climate action.

The development of the Policy Guidance and Engagement Pack followed a participatory process which involved consultations with climate action focal points in Ministries of Tourism, nominated at the invitation of UN Tourism’s Secretary-General. Their engagement in the participatory process was crucial for the development of the Policy Guidance.
