address climate change in the context of the Alps and its impact on winter tourism and natural hazards management is emphasized in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate. The report highlights the urgent action needed to mitigate the effects of climate change and protect the Alpine region.
In line with these concerns, the European Green Deal proposed by the European Commission aims to make Europe the world’s first climate-neutral continent. This initiative recognizes the need to address the impact of global tourism on climate change and energy sustainability.
One area of focus for addressing climate change in the tourism industry is the aviation sector. A study published in Sustain. Sci. emphasizes the importance of implementing carbon reduction measures in the aviation industry to mitigate the impact of global tourism on climate change and energy sustainability.
Another study published in Curr. Issues Tour. examines the sustainability of snowmaking as a climate change adaptation strategy in Canada’s ski industry. The study assesses the effectiveness of snowmaking in mitigating the impact of climate change on ski resorts and provides insights into the future of the industry.
The vulnerability of ski tourism to climate change is a topic of concern globally. A study published in Ann. Tour. Res. explores the global tourism vulnerability to climate change and highlights the need for adaptation measures in the industry.
Specifically focusing on the impact of climate change on ski tourism, a study published in Curr. Issues Tour. conducts a review of climate change risks for ski tourism. The study examines the potential impacts of climate change on ski resorts and emphasizes the importance of adaptation strategies.
The carbon footprint of global tourism is analyzed in a study published in Nat. Clim. Change. The study provides insights into the environmental impact of tourism and the need for sustainable practices in the industry.
The economic impacts and increased adaptation of ski tourism in a warmer world are explored in a study published in Tour. Manage. The study assesses the potential challenges and opportunities for the ski tourism industry in the face of climate change.
Furthermore, the impacts of climate change on snow conditions and winter tourism in various regions are analyzed in multiple studies. For example, a study published in Cryosphere examines changes in natural and managed snow reliability in French Alps ski resorts. Another study published in Sci. Total Environ. explores the vulnerability of ski tourism to internal climate variability and climate change in the Swiss Alps.
In summary, numerous studies and reports highlight the impact of climate change on winter tourism and natural hazards management in the European Alps. These findings underscore the urgent need for action to address climate change and implement sustainable practices in the tourism industry.
