Climate Action through Regeneration: Unlocking the Power of Communities and Nature through Tourism

This white paper surveyed 30 tourism operators globally using the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Nature-based Solutions (NbS) Global Standard to assess how NbS are enabling destinations to take proactive climate action. The paper outlines 5 Principles for Effective Nature-based Solutions in the Tourism Sector with practical guidelines, action steps, and case studies highlighting action taken by industry leaders. With over 17 affiliate partners joining to amplify the important message behind the white paper, the research has been well-received by an industry that to date has little practical guidance for increasing investment in NbS at scale.
