Experts in Climate change and tourism

The eCLAT network connects the majority of researchers working on the interactions between climate and tourism world-wide. After its foundation in Milan in June 2003, the eCLAT research community has convened a number of workshops and conferences, both research-focused and policy-related.

UKCIP

In July 2005 UKCIP launched A changing climate for business, the UK’s first report to help business assess the impacts that climate change will have on their operations, and to begin the essential process of adapting to a changing climate (pdf, 2.5 MB). This publication has since been updated three times, most recently in June 2010.

Over the coming decades, climate change will impact on the whole of the North West, with the coast and rural uplands being particularly sensitive. Climate change and the visitor economy shows how this will affect some of the most popular destinations in the region (pdf, 5.3 MB). The technical report is also available to download (pdf, 2.9 MB).
