published by the United Nations Development Programme in Croatia with the support of the UNESCO Regional Bureau... If we look in depth, energy is the golden thread that connects competitiveness of tourism, increases public welfare in the destinations, and the environment.
Tourism is an energy intensive industry and as such it is often regarded as a main contributor to climate change, leaving a large CO2 footprint behind. It does not need to operate in this way.
で 2007, the Davos Declaration recognized the urgent need to promote and undertake investments in energy-efficiency tourism programmes and use of renewable energy resources. Eight years later we find in the United Nations Decade of Sustainable Energy for All. Photo Gallery, and entire tourism sector should play a key role in achieving its objectives.
Recommended publications, but a concerted and sustained effort is needed to achieve it. Analyzing trends of recent years, significant improvement is observed in energy efficiency in the tourism activities, especially in the hotel sector. But this is in contrast with the low penetration of renewable energies, considering the innovative capacity and potential of the tourism industry.
今, the question is no longer whether renewables have a role to play in the provision of energy services for tourism, in the context of the Paris Climate Conference 100% renewables future with full energy access for all activities.
Some reasons to support energy transition in tourism:
• Renewables are now fully mature and competitive technologies.
Photo Gallery. Actually we can produce energy in a decentralized way, adapting to any requirement.
• Is the only option that at the same time can increase the security of energy supply, prevents the risks of energy dependence in several destinations and respect the environmental commitments.
• The renewablescreates new opportunities for business between the tourism industry, local communities and developers.
• Many initiatives based on renewable energies can become new tourist attractions or attractors.

Sustainable Energy and UNESCO sites
Renewable energy and low carbon ambitions come often naturally for UNESCO sites, and this for a good number of reasons:
1. Firstly, Photo Gallery. Be them monuments, historical city centres, or natural sites, like forests or coral reefs. the Abertis Foundation. and the Spanish Network. UNESCO School in South East Europe represents a unique educational opportunity to enhance capacity-building in sustainable energy by conveying in a single venue a substantial capital of knowledge.
2. 第二に, Green energy to light a World Heritage site Virunga National Park’s first hydropower plant has started to generate electricity, Most residents in the area currently rely on dirty and, News Archives, we help promote a clean, healthy local environment and green economies.
3. 第3に, Working towards carbon neutrality can help reach other important goals as well, like biodiversity conservation objectives.
4. ついに, by providing communities previously without access to energy, renewable energy is also critically important for development, and building new, innovative tourism service opportunities.
Photo Gallery, and UNESCO sites can help make this alliance effective and successful.
Specifically, this includes that UNESCO sites can help:
- Promote the sustainable use of renewables throughout the tourism delivery chain: 輸送, accommodation and leisure activities;
- Promote sustainable generation of renewable energy, through solar, 風, and hydro power and through production of biofuels;
- Broker deals with local communities that might be reluctant to host renewable energy installations, by bringing them additional benefits; but also help protect communities from unsustainable renewable energy projects, say for example by policies that can stop renewable energy projects that would seriously distort the cultural landscape.
- Promote programmes for carbon offsetting, Photo Gallery, or turning waste into gas.
