Climate Activist and Sustainable Development Pioneer
SUNx Malta is a not for profit program, partnered with the Ministry of Tourism and Consumer Protection of Malta, and Malta Tourism Authority, focused on "Climate Friendly Travel" ~ low carbon: SDG linked: Paris 1.5 trajectory. We continue the work of our mentor, the late Maurice Strong - Climate Activist and Sustainable Development pioneer.
We deliver an annual State of the Sector Report and related Think Tank: We have started a Climate Friendly Travel graduate Diploma with the Institute for Tourism Studies in Malta and will train 100,000 Strong Climate Champions by 2030.
Finally we have launched - a global Registry for 2050 Climate Neutral Ambitions to be a catalyst for increased sector carbon reduction and the Travel & Tourism conduit to the UNFCCC Climate Action Portal.
The Government of the Republic of Malta has partnered with SUNx to create SUNx Malta as the Global Centre for Climate Friendly Travel (CFT) Low Carbon: SDG linked: Paris 1.5 trajectory.
With these measures, Malta is signalling its intention as a small island state, with a big tourism economy, to also be a Climate Friendly Travel leader.
To advance this thinking we will:
- Co-produce an annual CFT Review
- Manage a Malta CFT 2050 Ambitions Registry
- Hold an annual Malta Think Tank and STRONG UN Assembly event to stimulate research and innovation
- Train 100,000 young Strong CFT Champions across all UN States for company & community transformation
Support Hubs
-
Innovation hub
The innovation hub has two types of information. We are posting global innovations related to Travel & Tourism from anywhere in the world, and typically, these are web-links to the original article, with a title. We are continuously updating and expanding this cache of information. We are also asking registered parties if they have anything that is particularly innovative. One of the questions in Part B of the Registration asks to list any such innovative developments, and we will reflect those in the innovation hub as well.

Strategy hub
The Strategy Hub provides access to global, regional and national strategic developments with regards to sustainable development and climate action. The strategic information may not be directly applicable to registered parties, but it provides the background or the context for the development of carbon reduction plans.
