Climate Action Certification Program
The Climate Action Certification Program (CACP) is an initiative of Sustainable Tourism Australia, a wholly owned company of Ecotourism Australia.
CACP is dedicated to ranking efforts to reduce carbon emissions and is designed for all sectors of the tourism industry, regardless of size and level of carbon reduction already undertaken. It includes the tourism hotels, attractions, tours, transport, restaurants, travel agents, tourism commissions and industry bodies.
The Climate Action Certification Program recognises 3 levels of Certification:
| Climate Action Business Businesses that have undertaken a set of adaption and emissions reduction actions but are not necessarily measuring their carbon footprint. |
| Climate Action Innovator Businesses have undertaken a set of adaptation and emissions reduction actions and are auditing and measuring their carbon footprin |
Climate Action Leader Businesses have incorporated strategic climate change responses across all relevant levels of business planning and operations. They are measuring and auditing their carbon footprint via a creditable system and have undertaken an advanced level of adaptation, emissions reduction and offsetting and are working towards becoming carbon neutral. |
Throughout Australia there are more and more organisations acquiring certification under this innovative program
