Post Climate COP 30 Wake Up Call

 November 27th, 2025

Reflecting on COP 30, we believe at SUNx that there is one overriding, harsh message. The current global Climate Crisis response – including its tourism component – however well meaning, will simply not be enough to slow down the intensifying extreme weather impacts or counter the hovering planetary “tipping points” we are facing. 

 

Our world confronts an increasingly bleak future, punctuated by these annual voluntary pledging & review sessions, that never go far enough, fast enough to prevent dramatically worsening heat, drought, wildfires, hurricanes, floods & sea-level surges.

 

By the time the world reaches our targeted 2050 net zero goal, today’s children will be the adults tasked with navigating whatever environment we are shaping today. At SUNx Malta we believe we must prepare our kids & grandkids now, for that future. 

 

And that is why we launched Dodo4Kids for the very earliest learners and their families while traveling and when they return home. It introduces climate awareness through fun, online books, cartoons, gamification and the like – helping children understand the challenges ahead in a way that is honest yet hopeful. Our extinct Dodo is reincarnated to spark curiosity in the tourism wonders of our planet and give young minds the tools to adapt to the dominant impact of climate change that threatens them.

 

Yes, Tourism must play its full part in greenhouse gas reduction but we can only do so much. We can and must do more to adapt to the new realities – and the earlier the better. It is a skill that today’s children will have to rely on more than any generation before them. Fortunately, they will have the massive power of AI supported technology, which we never had, to shape their responses. And their inherent curiosity that we can harness from the outset in their learning patterns. We want to turn education into action, working in collaboration with AI.
