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. ### What is the timeline of this project? 1 January 2021 – 1 June 2024 ### Who is our funding partner? ![Logo van Vestlandsforsking](https://www.buas.nl/sites/default/files/styles/free_gemiddeld_wysiwyg/public/2023-11/vestlandsforsking.jpg?itok=1i3tcXJx) ### Want to read more?
