CLIMATE PROOF INVESTMENT GUIDE FOR A SUSTAINABLE AND RESILIENT TOURISM

Published on March 15, 2023

Climate Proof Investment Guide for a sustainable and resilient tourism offers recommendations and tools to incorporate climate risks and adaptation solutions in the planning and design process of projects in Mexico (selection of the property, master plan, environmental impact studies, architectural design, among others). Although this document is aimed at investment companies, developers and consultants in the tourism and real estate sector of the country, the Rapid Climate Risk Self-Assessment tool and the Operational Planning recommendations can be used in any type of tourism investment in the world.

This guide was developed under ADAPTUR Project.

The ADAPTUR project (Ecosystem-Based Adaptation to Climate Change in the Tourism Sector in Mexico) has developed training workshops and technical documents to incorporate the climate change and adaptation approach into decision-making in the sector, including the aforementioned Guide. At the same time, it has provided technical advice and promoted cooperation between key actors from the public and private sectors for the implementation of solutions based on ecosystems with the support of civil society organizations, notably, the restoration of forests and soil for the recovery of the aquifer, reduce the risk of droughts and ensure water in the future for San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, as well as the restoration of dune vegetation for the coastal protection of properties and the community in Puerto Morelos, Quintana Roo.
