- Climate Change and Tourism Policy in OECD Countries3.86 MB
Greenhouse gas emissions from the global tourism industry are set to at least double in the next 25 years unless more low carbon, resource efficient policies are developed, according to a new report by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the Organisation of Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
The report, Climate Change and Tourism Policy in OECD Countries, recommends that stronger climate change mitigation policies and incentives be developed for the tourism sector. At the same time, it shows how ambitious mitigation pledges already in place mean the tourism industry can be a source of innovative solutions to climate change. The report also recommends that policy options on climate change mitigation need to reflect the wider context of the place of tourism in an individual country's economy.
