World Tourism Organization (UNWTO)

📌From dialogue to practical action.

🌍On World Environment Day, UN Tourism and UNEP are bringing together governments, destinations, international organizations and the private sector for one conversation.

How can circular economy approaches reduce emissions and build climate-resilience for destinations?

The Global Roundtable on Climate Action in Tourism tackles exactly this.
Climate Resilient Destinations: Circularity as Climate Action.
5 June 2026 | 15:30–17:00 CEST

One session. Real tools. Real momentum — on the road to COP31.

Practical tools. Real solutions. Circular tourism in action.

To mark World Ocean Day, UNEP and UN Tourism are hosting two Technical Sessions under the Global Tourism Plastics Initiative (GTPI).

Two dates. Two deep dives into what’s actually working on the ground — from practical tools and reuse solutions to destination implementation experiences and lessons learned from reducing plastic pollution in tourism.

📅 2 June 2026 | 11:00–13:00 CEST
📅 8 June 2026 | 16:00–18:00 CEST

If you work in tourism, destination management, sustainability or circularity — this is your room.

Eid Al-Adha marks the end of Hajj — the largest annual human gathering on earth and one of the five pillars of Islam.
A moment centred on faith, sacrifice, humility and unity.
Eid Mubarak 🌍
عيد مبارك وكل عام وأنتم بخير ✨

🌍 Africa Day.

81 million visitors last year. 8% growth. A continent that never stops growing.

But the question now is who that growth truly reaches. Tourism cannot succeed if the communities hosting the world are left behind.

This year, the African Union has rightly put the spotlight on clean water and safe sanitation.

As we look ahead to leading the United Nations International Year of Sustainable and Resilient Tourism in 2027, this is exactly where our focus must be.

Opportunity. A real stake in the future. That future belongs to Africa’s youth.

UN Tourism is deeply committed to building this future together with our African partners.

Happy 💙

Historic neighborhoods are more than heritage. They are homes, livelihoods, and communities.
At the UN Habitat 13th Edition of the World Urban Forum 2026, UN Tourism joins UNESCO and UN Habitat to ask: how can cultural heritage regenerate our cities — better housing, public space, climate resilience, more inclusion — And what role can tourism play in helping achieve these goals?
