Organisational structure | SUNx (Strong Universal Network – the x reflects its focus on response to the eXistential Climate
Crisis) was established in 2010, as an EU based, not for profit organisation, with the support of the late Maurice Strong – one of the architects of global sustainable development – to apply his vision to the pivotal Travel & Tourism Sector. In 2019 we signed a landmark initial 5-year SDG17 Agreement with Malta Tourism Authority and Tourism Ministry to relocate to Malta as a worldwide centre for Climate Friendly Travel with a “Plan For Our Kids” Strategy. |

Description
Description | SUNx - Strong Universal Network - is a new system for Tourism destinations and stakeholders to build Climate Resilience in line with the targets of the Paris Agreement through “Climate Friendly Travel.”
SUNx Malta Climate Friendly Travel Registry for 2050 Climate Neutral & Sustainability Ambitions The idea of a Climate Neutral 2050 Ambitions Registry was built into the Paris 2015 Agreement, as a way for Parties to transparently declare and progressively increase their Carbon reduction ambitions through 2050, so as to secure global temperature stabilized at tolerable levels for human survival. As a transformation catalyst this Registry will be open to all Travel & Tourism companies and communities, whether they have created a 2050 Carbon Neutral Ambition yet. It will cover transport, hospitality, travel services and infrastructure providers - from the smallest to the largest, anywhere in the world. It will also be a conduit to the mainstream UN Climate Action Portal. |

Objectives | Focus on Climate Resilient Impact-Travel. |
Activities | As the Network scales, it will be:
• A primary climate resilience contact point for the Travelism sector, for governments, for environmental and NGO communities, as well as for citizens. • A standard bearer for renewable energy, with their solar panels and battery systems • A system to help turn global and national targets into measurable action on the ground, that accentuate the positive impacts of the sector • A response node in disaster management systems. • A culture, art and education focal point SUNX has developed SunArk, that is a multi-purpose building which can be transported anywhere by road and by sea. It can be constructed by unskilled local labour, using simple tools. It needs no traditional foundations or floor slab. SunArk generates 50-80,000 kilowatt hours per annum (dependent upon local weather and radiation patterns) using its custom-designed photovoltaic system. This renewable solar power can be used within the SunArk for many specialist applications, or it can be distributed externally by AC or DC to nearby buildings, tents, factories, shops, storage areas etc. SunArk answers many of the world’s needs for developing countries’ off-grid areas. |
