Aprašymas

Academic Paper from the year 2020 in the subject Environmental Sciences, grade: 1,7, Pforzheim University, language: English, abstract: In this paper, the scientific background of the greenhouse effect, which is decisive for climate change, is presented. Furthermore, tourism and its importance as an economic factor is reported. As an exemplary study of the interaction between climate change and tourism, those will be explained using two areas that are particularly sensitive: the Maldives archipelago and the Alpine region. For each of these two examples, the initial situation, the problem, is explained and subsequently possible solutions or solution approaches are presented and critically questioned. Due to the business context, little attention is paid to political or ethical issues. In 2019 there was almost no other global issue as present and polarising as climate change. Starting with many movements, such as "Fridays for Future", the public was increasingly made aware of the topic. The topic has also become increasingly relevant politically. As early with the 2015 UN Climate Conference, important points were set to reduce global warming. Many areas and economic sectors are already affected by climate change and many will con-tinue to feel the effects of climate change in the future.
