Klimatet förändras, och det är människans aktiviteter som är orsaken. Utsläpp av växthusgaser från fossila bränslen och ohållbar markanvändning på global, regional och lokal nivå driver den pågående uppvärmningen.

Tourism is largely dependent on climatic and natural resources. For example, "warmer'' climates generally constitute preferred environments for recreation and leisure, and natural resources such as fresh water, biodiversity, beaches or landscapes are essential preconditions for tourism. Global environmental change threatens these foundations of tourism through climate change, modifications of glob
