The President of the General Assembly will be convening a High-Level Thematic Debate on the theme \u201cPutting sustainable and resilient tourism at the heart of an inclusive recovery\u201d<\/strong> in close collaboration with UNWTO, UNDP, UNEP, and UNCTAD. The event provides the opportunity for Member States, and other relevant stakeholders to discuss strategies, share best practises and experiences in three high-level thematic roundtables.\u00a0<\/p>\n The three thematic roundtables will consider how tourism can advance recovery for people, planet, and prosperity, including cross-cutting aspects of financing, and digitalization. Governments, other public and private actors will share best practices, case studies and lessons learned based on their experiences over the past two years.<\/p>\n

2016 levels, against the current ambition scenario. Therefore, the need to scale up climate action in tourism remains urgent as emissions could rapidly rebound once operations restart. The pandemic has underscored the need to simultaneously boost the resilience and sustainability of the tourism sector, including tourism infrastructure. It has highlighted the vulnerability of the sector to the effects of extreme weather and health related events and further made evident the need to protect the natural environment. The links between pandemic risk and biodiversity loss highlights the need for an inclusive, trans disciplinary, and cross-sectoral approach.<\/p>\n Roundtable 2 will discuss ways and means by which Member States, the private sector and other stakeholders can adopt integrated and socio-economically-sound strategies that can rebuild the sector making it a key driver for a sustainable and climate
