How will your destination fare in the climate change transition?
by Ben Lynam, Head of Communications, The Travel Foundation
Climate change will affect every destination and community, but it will do so unequally. Some will be better placed to adapt than others. What are the implications of this, and how can we take steps to ensure no destination is left behind?
It is surely no exaggeration to say that, over the next three decades, our generation will witness some of the most momentous changes in human history. We will experience a rapid energy revolution as we ditch fossil fuels, we’ll see game-changing technological breakthroughs to rival those of the past thirty years and, even if we keep global heating to within 1.5 degrees (the science-based goal of the Paris Agreement), we will see significant shifts in climate patterns, a rise in sea levels, and more extreme weather events. For tourism, we will also see a doubling of the number of trips taken.
