Blueprint for tourism climate action plans: A guide for regional authorities and destination management organisations

This guidance is inteded to support Mediterranean destination management organisations (DMO) and Regional Authorities in developing tourism-specific Climate Action Plans. While the document is tailored for the Mediterranean, the majority of its guidance can be applied in other geographical areas by researching and taking into account the specific geographical context of the destination.

The guidance provides a practical, step-by-step approach to transforming climate ambitions into actionable strategies. It assists regional authorities and DMOs in every stage of the process—from assessing local climate impacts and setting emission reduction targets to engaging stakeholders and monitoring progress. Featuring checklists, templates, and concrete recommendations, this is a hands-on resource for anyone responsible for driving climate action in tourism at the regional or local level.
