Hello and welcome to the Climate Friendly Travel Podcast! Where each episode, we speak to the great and the good of the global travel and tourism industry to learn more about what they are doing to ensure that the principles of climate friendly travel are being advanced.
I’m Ged Brown, your host for this week’s episode and today I’m delighted to be joined by Dr. Hans Friederich who manages the climate friendly travel registry for SunX Malta.
Hans is a Dutch geographer with a PhD from the University of Bristol, UK. He is global Ambassador of the World Bamboo Organisation and Senior Advisor to the European Bamboo Programme which is managed by Bamboologic in the Netherlands.
He is working with the SUNx Programme in Brussels and the Malta Tourism Authority as the Registrar of the global register of climate friendly travel and tourism ambitions. Hans is also a guest lecturer in the diploma course on climate friendly tourism that is organized by SUNx Malta and the Malta Institute for Tourism Studies.
In this episode I speak to Hans about his career in sustainability, his thoughts on the climate challenge and the advantages of signing up to the Climate Friendly Travel Registry.
