Prof Geof­frey Lipman

Geof­frey Lip­man is a former top offi­cial and innov­at­or at the Inter­na­tion­al Air Trans­port Asso­ci­ation (IATA), World Travel & Tour­ism Coun­cil (WTTC), and United Nations World Tour­ism Organ­iz­a­tion (UNWTO).

In his cur­rent roles as chief dis­rup­tion archi­tect and pro­fess­or at GreenEarth.travel, and co-founder of the SUN^x Pro­gram, Prof Lip­man advoc­ates con­cepts such as “green growth”, “impact-travel”, and “trav­el­ism”, and asserts that cli­mate change is “exist­en­tial”.

Prof Lip­man’s firm belief that cli­mate change has the poten­tial to knock out our spe­cies has not only inspired him to add the “x” to SUN^x, but is also driv­ing him to pur­sue the most ambi­tious pro­ject of his career; the real­isa­tion of a Strong Uni­ver­sal Net­work (SUN^x) that will empower and resource cur­rent and emer­ging gen­er­a­tions who must face the exist­en­tial threat head on.
