\"Transforming<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ministers of the Environment from across the Pan European region have agreed to promote the transformation of tourism.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This will be accomplished through key initiatives of the One Planet Sustainable Tourism Program to serve as their guiding principles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the conclusion of the Ninth Environment for Europe Ministerial Conference, organized by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe and held in Nicosia, Cyprus, delegates adopted a Ministerial Declaration, recognizing the urgent need to ensure the tourism sector \u201cbuilds back better\u201d from the impacts of the pandemic. Central to this will be accelerating the shift towards a circular tourism economy, while at the same time reducing waste and ensuring the sector meets its climate action<\/a> responsibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Glasgow Declaration on Climate Action in Tourism, launched by\u00a0UNWTO<\/a>\u00a0and partners at the 2021 UN Climate Change Conference (COP26) and the Global Tourism Plastics Initiative, a joint initiative from UNWTO and UNEP were both referenced as key initiatives to help guide the transformation of the sector. The One Planet Sustainable Tourism Program co-hosted with UNEP and its Mediterranean Action Plan a side event on \u201cTourism and Circularity for Sustainable Development in the Mediterranean,\u201d where a\u00a0 new repository of tools and resources focused on the circular economy and tourism was launched, alongside two new publications from the Global Tourism Plastics Initiative around measurement and procurement produced with the financial support of the Government of France.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Addressing the Ministerial Conference, UNWTO Secretary-General Zurab Pololikashvili said: \u201cFor businesses, the circular economy can bring competitive advantages. For destinations, it can build more inclusive local value chains. And for tourists, it\u2019s an opportunity to leave a positive footprint. I encourage Europe\u2019s Environment Ministers to build synergies with their counterparts in Ministries of Tourism to implement the circular economy in the tourism sector.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also speaking to the Ministerial Conference, Mario \u0160iljeg State Secretary for the Ministry of Economy and Sustainable Development of Croatia, emphasized the importance of tourism to European economies and highlighted the significant benefits of \u201cembracing innovative approaches, particularly moving away from traditional value chain relations adopting more systemic circular production and consumption patterns\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ministers and EU back CE in Tourism<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Also in Nicosia, the Minister of Tourism and Environment of Albania, Mirela Kumbaro Furxhi, chaired a plenary discussion on Applying Principles of CE in Tourism\u2019, with contributions from Switzerland, Sweden, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Ukraine, Germany, Greece, Armenia and the European Union. The EU then delivered a statement in which they too recommended the Glasgow Declaration and Global Tourism Plastics Initiative as tools to advance intentions to make the sector more sustainable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
