About this ebook

First comprehensive exploration of climate justice in tourism, critically examining how tourism is both a catalyst to the crisis but also a victim of its impacts.

This book provides the first comprehensive exploration of climate justice in tourism, critically examining how tourism contributes to and is impacted by the global climate crisis. It offers a multidimensional justice framework to unpack systemic injustices embedded in tourism and climate governance.

With global case studies and interdisciplinary perspectives, the book interrogates dominant growth-centric, colonial and anthropocentric tourism models, and calls for radical transitions toward just, decolonised and regenerative futures. It bridges theory and practice by providing both critical diagnoses and constructive pathways for a climate-just tourism transformation.

It is a useful resource for postgraduate students, researchers, academics, policymakers and practitioners working in tourism, climate change, environmental justice and sustainable development. It is also valuable for advanced undergraduate courses that engage with tourism, justice, sustainability and global development.
