On World Tourism Day, stakeholders call for increased access to sustainable energy
@UNWTO #WTD2012

Tourism businesses and destinations are committed to the sustainable energy agenda but need the support of the energy sector and governments to move forward, said leading experts from the aviation, accommodation and other tourism industries meeting in Spain for the official celebrations of World Tourism Day 2012 (Maspalomas, Gran Canaria, Spain, 27 September 2012).

Their Royal Highnesses, the Prince and Princess of Spain opened the celebrations, commending the tourism community for choosing Tourism & Sustainable Energy as the theme of World Tourism Day (WTD) 2012, in line with the United Nations International Year of Sustainable Energy for All.

A funny thing happened on the way to climate-change policy in Ontario — nearly everyone forgot their elementary-school lesson about photosynthesis and how plants remove carbon from the atmosphere.

That’s something the David Suzuki Foundation now hopes to rectify with “Carbon in the Bank,” a report released Wednesday on the greenbelt’s role in mitigating the effects of climate change.

 When we think of Canada, some of the first things that come to mind are powerful images of our rich natural legacy — towering forests, rolling plains and abundant lakes and rivers. These wild spaces appeal to our sense of freedom, the feeling that anything is possible, that we can create our own destiny.
The same values — freedom, possibility and interconnection — are also the foundation of a democratic society, one where all citizens have the right to think and speak freely about their vision for a healthy Canada. One where decision-makers respect the diverse voices of citizens and treat them as stakeholders in shaping the future we all share.
