LIFT climate funding measure of the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology
The LIFT Climate funding measure of the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Climate Protection (BMWK) is intended to strengthen climate protection in tourism in terms of supply and demand and thus at the same time secure the medium- and long-term competitiveness of the medium-sized German tourism industry. Within the framework of LIFT Climate, projects are funded that successfully combine climate protection and economic development and, due to their best-practice character, provide impulses for business, science and politics on how to deal with a growing demand for tourism activities in a climate-friendly and sustainable manner. The aim is to show ways in which tourism can contribute to achieving the climate protection goals that have been set.
