A climate education workshop for tourism stakeholders in the Alps
The Mountain Tourism Fresco raises awareness about climate change implications in alpine destinations and promotes behavioral change. Our project addresses both adaptation and root causes of tourism-related emissions (including inbound/outbound tourism, construction, food, equipment). In this game, participants actively engage to increase their climate literacy and co-create solutions for their tourism destination.
"Collective intelligence at the service of regions in transition towards low-carbon tourism"

(Funded on an exceptional basis as part of the SWEET Lantern project)
What can we expect?
Facilitators teams explore cards representing climate change causes and impacts. They collaboratively place these cards on a tourism map, revealing real life cause-effect and adaptation-mitigation relationships. The game concludes with participants defining a shared transition vision and selecting specific climate solutions. The map visualizes climate action concretely, at a local level and in a visual and personalized way, turning them into future-proof climate actors in tourism destinations.
