Tourism, Climate and Sustainable Development The Path to Low Carbon Development A COP 21 Side Event 11 December 2015

Small Island Developing States (SIDS) Highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change

Sample Presentation Title Conference Ti tle

Heavily impacted by rising sea levels and increasing

frequency of storms

Highly dependent on tourism

Damage to coastal environments from storm

surges, hurricanes and cyclones

Erosion of beaches and other coastal habitat

Critical infrastructure is also highly vulnerable

Coastal communities, dependent on fishing are

often some of the poorest and most marginalised

What are SIDS doing? Working to adapt to the new climate reality

Sample Presentation Title Conference Ti tle

Small but vocal lobby in climate talks

Building networks to share knowledge

Identified priority areas through research

National Adaptation Plans address critical areas and

manage risk

Contract expert NGOs to work with stakeholders to

implement adaptation and mitigation efforts

Climate Change, Coastal Community Enterprises, Adaptation, Resilience and Knowledge Project (CCCCE-ARK) Bahamas, Belize, Barbados, Jamaica

WHAT: Building climate resilience and improving sustainability in coastal MSMEs & CBOs – Agriculture, tourism, fisheries and craft WHY: Reducing CO2, building resilience and improving disaster prepardness in coastal communities HOW:

Distilling NAPAs & NAMAs into community level adaptation plans - The plans are

intended to be used as a self-help tool for integrating climate-resilient and

climate-smart strategies and programmes within the community development

agenda.

Building more resilient AND more sustainable businesses

Developing networks to share knowledge

Providing grants to help MSMEs enhance sustainability (renewables, larger mesh

nets)

Centre for Sustainable Development is a Programme implemented jointly by the Government of Montenegro and UNDP

Mission:

Promoting sustainable development in the context of EU accession agenda-tailored to the specific needs of Montenegro and the Western Balkan region

Focus of the work: Sustainable tourism / Sustainable energy / Resource and ecosystem management / Resilience to

climate change and environmental security Towards Carbon Neutral Tourism Project

Project budget: USD 3,090,000 Duration: September 2019 Objective: Reduce emissions of greenhouse gases in the Montenegrin tourism sector through: Promoting the adoption of policies and regulations to reduce the level of carbon dioxide (CO2), Introducing GHG monitoring system in tourism sector, Promoting sustainable spatial planning and transport options, Establishing sustainable funding mechanisms, Supporting the development and implementation of investments in tourism infrastructure with

low CO2 emissions, and Raising public awareness about the necessity of the development of environmentally friendly

tourism.

GEF/UNDP Towards Carbon Neutral Tourism in Montenegro Calculations of baseline GHG emissions from Tourism Sector (2013)

• Scope: the accounted emissions are those generated by tourists, either foreign or domestic, within

Montenegro and those originated by means of transport to reach the country, in the year 2013. • Methodology: the guidelines of GEF have been used to calculate the baseline GHG emissions. The

methodological approach used to calculate the baseline GHG emissions is a hybrid approach, combining both top-down and bottom-up approaches. The first one correlates economic data with emissions, through energy consumption of the economic sectors. The bottom-up utilizes activity data related to the sector in study and translates them into GHG emissions through emission factors.

• Sub-sectors examined: accommodation and catering, transport and waste.

Results Baseline Year 2013: 464 kt CO2e - TOTAL emissions from tourism in Montenegro 87% - off-country (air transport emissions). 13% ( 60 kt CO2e) - country-based emissions deriving from touristic activities, transportation and waste generation in Montenegro

Main findings and Recommendations

• The main source of emissions was the transportation, and the majority of it was generated in the transportation of foreign tourist to reach Montenegro (93%), especially by plane.

• National administration has a very limited capacity to put into motion reduction actions regarding off-country emissions and therefore efforts should be strongly focused in the mitigation of in-country emissions.

• Considering only the in-country emissions, it emerges that the most relevant source is transportation (43%), where road transport is the biggest emitter. The second emitter results to be the accommodation related services (29,2%). These sectors represent a sound potential of mitigation by implementing the use and development of energy efficiency and renewable energies technologies and best practices in accommodation facilities and buildings.

• Average emissions per overnight stay in 2013: 49,3 kg CO2e

« Vision 2020 » wishes to develop a model of tourism that combines sustained growth and responsible

custody of the environment with respect for our authentic social and cultural life.

Sustainable development: a challenge and an opportunity for

tourism in Morocco

A rigourous upstream analysis of constraints

Analysis of tourist density

by destination

Establish a maximum tourist

density that must not be

exceeded if ecosystem

degradation and adverse

effects on local communities

are to be avoided.

An environmental audit that

assessed the fragility of the

various ecosystems, the

resources available and the

environmental infrastructure

A policy of improving what morocco

offers tourists throughout the country

will have as a mission to guide, monitor the

overall strategy and ensure co-ordination.

Recognizing that the action on sustainable tourism development will require an integrated open-ended

process engaging stakeholders at all levels – i.e. Public / Private sector, civil society, tourists) around a

simplified life-cycle of the tourism value chain, including:

Promotion

&

Marketing

Development of sets of

Sustainability indicators at regional levels

Fostering socio-economic impacts on

host communities via stable local employment and income-earning

opportunities

Integration of sustainability

aspects in the regulation and in the specifications for

the investments…

* Introducing sustainability in touristic regulation

* Raising awareness of tourism players through capacity building & voluntary approaches

encouragement

• Analysis of the environmental & social

impacts of tourism activities

• Analysis of tourist density by destination

(thresholds)

• Environmental audit to assess the fragility of the various ecosystems

Promotion of innovative best practices &

development of tourist information tools (e.g. education, awareness raising, Etc.)

Sustainable Tourism & GHG reduction: a long way to go..

Target Objective till date:

To be a leading sector in Morocco

in terms objectives of GHG

emissions reduction and

sustainability and to establish &

implement a monitoring system

that could monitor and measure

the evolution of GHG emissions

(contribution of tourism to the

national contribution).

Have some concrete actions to

promote during the COP22

NEXT STOP: COP22 IN MOROCCO

The 22nd session of the Conference of the

Parties (COP 22) is expected to take place in from 7-18 November 2016, in Marrakesh, Morocco.
