For the second year in a row, the UN climate negotiations gave tourism dedicated space, with COP30 Brazil allocating two full days to a sector responsible for nearly 9% of global emissions. Brazil’s Ministry of Tourism opened discussions by acknowledging the sector’s climate impact and urging deeper private-sector engagement alongside government action. “We are aware that transformation isn’t only driven by public policy,” said Ana Carolina Farvero, head of tourism sustainability at the ministry. “The private sector is a crucial ally — from hotels and tourism operators to digital platforms and airlines.” https://hubs.li/Q03Vntc-0
