TourRisk: Tourism Climate Risk
The main objective of the project is to develop policies for Norway’s future tourism sector in response to the global climate crisis. The project aims to create a model for a tourism sector that is both resilient to climate challenges and capable of achieving high yields while maintaining low emissions.
What was the goal of this research?
The research aims to describe and propose policies that will transform Norway’s tourism sector into a more resilient, low-emission, and high-yield industry. This transformation is essential for addressing the climate crisis and involves significant emission reductions across all sectors, including tourism.
What method was employed?
The project involves analysing the current state of Norway’s tourism sector, which is characterised by high energy consumption and significant transport-related emissions. It seeks to identify policies and strategies that will enable the sector to adapt to climate challenges, reduce its carbon footprint, and improve its overall efficiency and profitability.
What findings did we uncover?
The findings highlight the need for a deep transition within Norwegian society, including substantial emission reductions across all sectors, with a particular focus on the tourism industry. The project outlines strategies for making the tourism sector more resilient to climate crises, reducing its emissions, and ensuring it remains a high-yield sector.
