With over 6 billion vacation trips annually, tourism is a major and fast-growing contributor to climate change. To support a climate-centred tourism policy, this Project aims to construct a world’s first global database that answers three key questions: 1) if tourism carbon footprint increases in direct proportion to its consumption, 2) how quickly tourism can decarbonise emissions, and 3) can tourism deliver better carbon performance than other sectors? The outcomes include new theoretical and empirical knowledge about the impacts, drivers, and trade-offs of tourism's carbon emissions. A significant benefit of this Project is to identify mitigation policies that can better balance tourism economic yield and emissions stabilisation.

旅游业每年有超过60亿次度假旅行，是气候变化的主要和快速增长的贡献者。为了支持以气候为中心的旅游政策，该项目旨在建立世界上第一个全球数据库，回答三个关键问题：1）旅游业碳足迹是否与其消费成正比，2）旅游业如何快速脱碳排放，以及3）旅游业能否提供比其他行业更好的碳绩效？结果包括新的理论和经验知识的影响，驱动程序和权衡旅游业的碳排放。该项目的一个重要好处是确定缓解政策，可以更好地平衡旅游经济收益和排放稳定。
