Nature-based Solutions: opportunities in the tourism sector

HideDescripción
Nature-based Solutions (NbS) are increasingly viewed by businesses and governments alike, as essential mechanisms for achieving sustainable development that address biodiversity loss and climate change. These solutions address societal challenges the tourism sector faces (climate change, disaster risk, human health and economic well-being, amongst others). These challenges are met through actions that include protection, restoration and sustainable management of ecosystems. To ensure transparency, efficacy and positive outcomes, IUCN has created the IUCN Global Standard on Nature-based Solutions. The tourism sector is highly dependent on healthy ecosystems. TACSO has partnered with IUCN to serve as the hub for implementation of the Global Standard and support the efforts of the sector to capture existing and future NbS initiatives and projects. This session will introduce the Global Standard and its application to tourism, while showcasing work of TACSO members implementing NbS.
