• Collaboration and networking:
  • To facilitate interactions and discussions among signatories, member states, and climate focal points, promoting collaboration, partnership building, and the exchange of ideas.
  • To create opportunities for participants to identify synergies, share resources, and explore potential avenues for joint initiatives and projects.
• Policy alignment and harmonization:
  • To encourage alignment and harmonization of climate action policies, strategies, and initiatives across different organizations alongside the tourism value chain.
  • To promote a cohesive approach towards addressing climate change challenges within the tourism sector, ensuring consistency, effectiveness, and maximum impact.
