Tourism Enterprise’s Level of Climate Action Literacy and Measuring, Monitoring and Reporting of Emissions

This paper examines the critical issue of decarbonising emissions in the tourism industry, aiming for a 51% reduction by 2030 and Net-Zero emissions by 2050. It focuses on climate action literacy and the level of engagement by tourism enterprises in emissions monitoring and reporting. The study uses a quantitative research tool developed through desk-based research to investigate tourism enterprises' climate action practices. The key finding is that while enterprises have sufficient climate action knowledge, there is a significant gap in applying this knowledge, particularly in the regular measurement, monitoring, and reporting of emissions. The study highlights the need for targeted upskilling and training to enable enterprises to decarbonise effec-tively. It also emphasises the importance of supporting tourism enterprises in measuring their environmental impact, assessing sustainability, and contributing to climate change mitigation efforts.
