GLOBAL WARMING VS SUSTAINABLE

DEVELOPMENT

SUSTAINABLE TOURISM DEVELOPMENT

CAP & SHAREA FAIR WAY TO CUT GREENHOUSE

EMISSIONS

An Innovative approach to

curb carbon emissions by

Ireland based Feasta

(Foundation for theEconomics of

Sustainability)

Cap and Share seeks to

provide a simple, workable

and ethical economic

framework for dealing with

the climate crisis

HOW CAP AND SHARE WOULD WORK

THE CAP - The Global Atmosphere Trust sets each years

emissions at a level highly likely to stabilize the climate.

THE SHARE - National climate protection trusts distribute

Pollution Authorization Permits (PAPs) to every adultresident.

THE ENFORCEMENT - Inspectors check that producers have

bought enough permits to cover all their output. The used

permits are cancelled.

THE BUY - Fossil fuel producing companies buy enough

permits to cover the eventual emissions from the oil, gas

and coal that they sell.

THE SALE - Recipients either sell their permits via banks

and post offices or destroy them.

THE ADVANTAGES OF CAP & SHARE

The poor would have an income which automatically increased in step withhigher fuel and food costs. The gap between rich and poor would cease towiden both within countries and between them. Rural areas that have beenleft behind would catch up.

Families would have a new source of annual income which they could use toreduce their reliance on fossil fuels.

Emissions rights would be distributed to people, rather than countries. Thiswould make it much easier for a global climate treaty to be agreed.

A new world currency would be introduced. This would not only provide astable basis for international trade but also support the dollar during theebcu's introduction period. Highly indebted poor countries would have theirdebts cleared

THE DISADVANTAGES OF ANY METHOD

OF LIMITING FOSSIL FUEL USE

Energy prices will rise in relation to other factors ofproduction. A long-run inflation is necessary to allow theprices of goods and services to adjust to reflect theamount of fossil energy used in their production and

delivery.

Economic growth will take a different form. Energy-intensive activities will decline, labor intensive ones willexpand. The overall effect on total world income isimpossible to calculate but incomes in the energy-intensive parts of the world can expect to decline inrelative terms.

ASSESSMENT MEHODOLOGY FOR COASTAL

TOURISM:

STEPS INVOLVED ARE :

STEP 1 SYSTEM ANALYSIS

Economic, environmental and social context ofdestination.

Identification and characteristic of tourism activities. Prioritization according to their importance

.


7/14

CONTINUED

STEP 2 CLIMATE

Characterization of climate conditions andidentification of key hazards.

Creation of activity hazard sub systems.

Selection of sub systems for the analysis.


8/14

STEP 3 VULNERABILITY

Identification of vulnerability components andindicators.

Fine tuning of components and indicators.

Operationalization of vulnerability.

Validation of step 1- 3


9/14

STEP 4 INTEGRATION OF INDIVIDUAL VULNERABILITYASSESSMENT

Scenario construction

Analysis of non linearitys , interdependencies and feedback loops.

Discussion of results and overall vulnerability assessment.

Validity , scenarios and uncertainties assessed

STEP 5 COMMUNICATIONS OF RESULTS

Communication to broader audience


10/14

APPLICATION TO FIJI

Application of the steps in this case :

STEP 1 : Knowingeconomic, environmental and

social context of the destination.STEP 2 : Characterization of climate conditions

and identification of key hazards.

STEP 3 : Identification of vulnerabilitycomponents and indicators.


11/14

STEP 3 CONTINUED

There are different components of the

dimensions of vulnerability :

I Exposure Cyclone risk , tourist population , Localpopulation , Infrastructure

II Sensitivity Characteristics of beach / shores ,Condition of Infrastructure , Tourist perception

III Adaptive Capacity Institutional support ,Access to Financing , Management capacity


12/14

STEP 4 INTEGRATION OF INDIVIDUAL

VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT :

Scenario construction

STEP 5 COMMUNICATIONS OF RESULTS

Communication to broader audience

CONCLUSION

In practical terms, sustainabledevelopment means:

using less energy and using it from sustainable sources;

ensuring that buildings conform to the best standards ofsustainability and energy efficiency;

reducing the harmful effects of transport;

procuring goods and services locally where possible,

and from organizations that encompass the principles ofsustainability;

reducing the amount and impact of waste; and
