UNWTO Climate Action in the Tourism Sector

“This report seeks to provide an overview of the global efforts of the tourism sector and assess the current situation regarding Greenhouse Gas emissions  measurement  in  tourism.  It provides  an  overview  of  methodologies establishing the approaches and frameworks guiding measurement and the tools currently available for practitioners to use to measure emissions. It assesses how the development of such methodologies and tools has progressed. And it outlines what more needs to be done to support the sector to measure its emissions…

 

The aim is  to  provide  support  for  tourism  practitioners  at  the  beginning  of  their  climate  action  journey by facilitating them in choosing suitable ways to measure and further engage. In addition, it is hoped  that  policymakers  and  solution  providers  will  benefit  from  the  perspectives  contained  within the overview as they consider what gaps remain to be addressed.” (p.6)
