SUNx Malta Climate Friendly Travel Registry

SUNx Malta is a not-for-profit programme, partnered with the Ministry of Tourism of Malta, and the Malta Tourism Authority, focused on “Climate Friendly Travel”, tourism that is low carbon, SDG-linked, and nature-friendly. They continue the work of their mentor, the late Maurice Strong, Climate Activist and Sustainable Development pioneer.

They deliver education, & encourage behavioural change through their Diplomas, Registry, Chapters, travel Club, and Services programmes. They help tourism companies adapt to extreme weather and peak emissions in 2025 for zero GHG 2050. They focus on the world’s poorest countries & small islands, engaging tomorrow’s young leaders. By 2030 they will have motivated hundreds of “Plan B” climate friendly travel communities, thousands of companies and hundreds of thousands of consumers.

As part of the CFT programme, they have launched a global Registry for 2050 Zero GHG Ambitions to be a catalyst for increased sector carbon reduction and a Travel & Tourism conduit to the UNFCCC Climate Action Portal.

The CFT Registry is the gateway to the programme, and they encourage all travel and tourism companies from all over the world to join the CFT Programme by listing their company on the CEF Registry.
