SUNxMalta has a “BIG IDEA” for World Tourism Day 2025: Dodo4Kids.
President’s message
We are delighted to announce our “BIG IDEA” for World Tourism Day 2025: Dodo4Kids, a SUNxMalta initiative dedicated to Climate Friendly Travel Education for the next generation.
Dodo4Kids is designed to inspire young travellers to enjoy great tourism destinations while learning about the related threats of the climate crisis and challenges for sustainable development.
Led by a quirky dodo reincarnated by a nutty Professor meeting with local children as tourists, it blends stories, cartoons, and games to build climate response from an earlyage.
As part of our global Climate Friendly Travel (CFT) community, this initiative represents more than just educational content; it’s a commitment to helping children and families to enjoy a more sustainable travel future.
With over 900 companies already registered as part of our CFT community — most in developing nations and small island states particularly at risk from climate change — Dodo4Kids extends our mission of Education to Action.
We have published ebooks for Malta, Mauritius, Uganda, and Bali, with a very special edition for Ukraine to support the brave families and their children. Plus we are building a widespread partner network to make the program freely available through travel & tourism companies to their guests around theworld.

We want to start their preparations NOW.
