Equator to Pole: Using Science Diplomacy to Incorporate Best Practices from Latin America and the Caribbean for Sustainable Cruise Tourism in the Polar Regions
During the last decade, cruise tourism in the Arctic and the Antarctic has grown exponentially as changing environmental conditions have enabled increased access to the polar regions. This industry has the potential to support communities via financial and social benefits; however, it is also a climate- and capital-intensive global economic activity whose negative impacts are difficult to assess, monitor and control. The current state of voluntary, industry-led standards and regulations around polar cruise tourism are likely insufficient to deal with the negative environmental impacts which will escalate in the coming years due to global warming and over-tourism. As such, science diplomacy—a mode of international relationship-building that mobilizes science, technology, and innovation to tackle transnational issues—can be used as a tool to enhance science-based conservation efforts and address cruise tourism’s governance challenges that often escape jurisdictional boundaries. Addressed to the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), this policy memo outlines how science diplomacy can help develop collaborative policies to manage the risks and opportunities of cruise tourism expansion in the polar regions. It presents key recommendations based on best practices from regional experiences in Latin America and the Caribbean, including convening an international workshop on climate change and cruise tourism, soliciting a request for proposals for establishing a UNWTO polar observatory, and using outreach tools to develop knowledge-sharing partnerships.
