Mainstreaming sustainable consumption and production in tourism

The One Planet Sustainable Tourism Programme aims to accelerate sustainable consumption (SCP) in tourism policies and practices to address the challenges of pollution, biodiversity loss and climate change. It supports the transition towards a circular economy as a pathway for the sustainable development of tourism.

Through its work, the One Planet Sustainable Tourism Programme sets the SCP agenda in the tourism sector to advance the implementation of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 12 and also delivers progress under connected goals such as SDG13, SDG14 and SDG15, respectively on climate action and the protection of marine and terrestrial ecosystems.

The Programme was launched in February 2015 and operates as a multi-stakeholder partnership that promotes knowledge sharing and networking to define collective priorities and identify solutions.
