The Climate Conversation ( www.theclimateconversation.com) provides a list and viewpoints of the individuals and organisations leading the debate now and at COP15:
Looking out for the tourism sector`s interest, the UNWTO and World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC), will host a side event on “Addressing the challenges of Climate Change: perspectives from the tourism and the travel sector”, which will present the steps taken so far in response to the Bali Roadmap and Action Plan, while addressing mitigation and adaptation strategies within the tourism and travel sector.
The UNWTO background to tourism and climate change can be found on www.unwto.org/climate/index.php , which focuses on the Davos process that has preceded Copenhhagen.
Finally, the Gothenburg Conclusions give an outline of what different tourism stakeholders are doing to contribute to Climate change initiatives.
