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)
