Climate change impacts everyone in the travel and tourism industry, from locals and travelers to businesses.

Caribbean nations, for example, are being increasingly hit with hurricanes, rising sea levels are threatening communities in countries from Fiji to Panama .

Small Island Developing States (SIDS) are often left out of conversations on how to tackle climate change.

Recommendations include incentives for investing in and marketing sustainable products; a levy for frequent fliers to pay; and the creation of an international fund that would help build resilience in the most vulnerable communities. "The tourism industry has a remarkable ability to recover and drive economic growth, especially when working together as one," said Bartlett , who has long advocated for initiatives similar to those in the climate justice report. He believes that collaborative international effort and funding will ensure that vulnerable communities "are not only prepared for future crises but are also empowered to leverage tourism as a sustainable development tool.".
