On Jan 13, 2011, a workshop was conducted with a support from the WWF Nepal, as the climate is an essential resource for tourism, and especially for nature and winter sport tourism sectors. Changing climate and weather patterns at tourist destinations and tourism generating countries can significantly affect the tourists’ comfort and their travel decisions. The UN Environment Programme (UNEP) has highlighted its efforts to promote a low carbon, resource efficient Green Economy in the 21st century. According to UNEP, its strategy has focused on three priority areas: ecosystems-based adaptation; reduced emissions from deforestation and forest degradation in developing countries (REDD); and clean technology readiness. In this workshop, three papers were presented as follows.
- Carbon Management: A path to Green Economy, Kushal Gurung, ENDS CARBON, UK
- Nepal’s climate changes challenges and tourism sector, Ngamindra Dahal, NTNC, Nepal
- WWF Nepal Gold Standard Biogas VER PROJECT: Lessons learned from the Field, Ugan Manandhar, WWF Nepal
