This paper explains the evolution of research into tourism and climate change, illustrating how early work concentrated on the impact of climate change on tourism, whereas current work also explores the impact of tourism on climate change. It goes on to elaborate a research agenda on both topics. The need to open up tourism research to other fields and professional worlds – such as climatology, the International Panel on Climate Change and transport research – is stressed, as is the need to organise the research community on a global basis, with more collaborative and comparative research.
