Abstract

This chapter focusses on the interaction between climate change and tourism. It is divided into three main sections. The first one describes in a useful and understandable way the contribution of touristic activities to climate change on the one hand, and the vulnerability of tourism to direct and indirect impacts of climate change on the other hand. The second one presents in brief the main points of mitigation policies that aim to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions in the tourism sector. Furthermore, it highlights adaptation measures that aim to implement the suitable policies, so that the adverse effects of climate change can be addressed. The third section provides a set of reading comprehension, grammar and vocabulary exercises that aim to practice the skills needed to effectively access a relevant text.
