During COP29’s tourism focussed day at Baku, Azerbaijan, Dr. Ya-Yen Sun, Associate Professor, University of Queensland was invited to preview the Tourism Emissions Project research to an audience of tourism leaders and policymakers.
Dr Sun presented key findings from the research, including the finding that tourism emissions now make up 8.8% of global GHG emissions, and that there is significant inequality in emissions created by different countries.
The research was then launched globally when published in full in Nature Communications on Tuesday 10 December 2024.
