They will become part of our global community and benefit from a range of tools provided by SUNx to help them understand the intersect between the Climate Crisis and Tourism to advance Climate Friendly Travel (CFT) in their region. They will:
➡️ Join our CFT Learning, Innovation and Strategy Hubs with limitless access.
➡️ Benefit from discounts and possible scholarships for our CFT Diploma and Strong Climate Champions Training program to set the basis of meaningful careers within the Travel & Tourism sector.
➡️ Learn with our SDG 17 partner network and participate in our online events and monthly e-bulletin eXist.
Our only focus is climate resilience
Over the past 5 years we have developed a “Plan For Our Kids” - global Training and Lifetime Learning program to create a movement of 100,000 STRONG Climate Champions by 2030 to advance Climate Friendly Travel. Our Champions will help bring Travel & Tourism into the “New Climate Economy”.
SUNx AND CODE RED
SUNx advocates for a "Code Red Plan for our Kids" through our DASH-2-ZERO strategy focused on Net Carbon by 2030 and Zero GHG by 2050. DASH stands for Declare, Act, Support, Hope and through our activity and the Strong Climate Champions program we plan to provide support to companies and communities around the world, but also hope and motivation to lead the change.
