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
8 tourist territories..
6 programmes

6. The « Biladi » programme
The new institutional arrangement
Creation (in progress) of the High-
Commission of Tourism (with a dedicated
Sustainable Development Commission) that
will have as a mission to guide, monitor the
overall strategy and ensure co-ordination.
Socio-cultural constraints: Nights per

Land use: Beds in commercial accommodation/km² of the site or

Environmental constraints:
Constitution of a synthetic indice
Level of water availability
Fragility of ecosystems

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.)

Regarding the more significant characteristic of tourism as a transversal economic sector, the
preparation of Vision 2020 has been conducted from the start in a spirit of co-operation with the various
stakeholders involved, private and public, national and local.

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.
