Abstract

Urban tourism is a source of economy with linkages towards the service sector or tertiary economy which inherits attributes characterized by non-agricultural based economy such as administration, manufacturing, trade and services. The COP26 UN Climate Change Conference served as the official unveiling of the Glasgow declaration. It suggests a coordinated tourism strategy to meet its emissions reduction goals of reducing to half by 2030 and going net zero by 2050 globally. The tourism industry both contributes to the emission of greenhouse gases (GHG), which contribute to global warming, and is extremely vulnerable to climate change. Therefore, accelerating climate action in the tourism industry is crucial for the sector's resilience. Climate action is defined as the actions taken to monitor, assess, and reduce GHG emissions as well as to improve capacity for adaptation to climate-related impacts. Around the world, 8% of greenhouse gas emissions are related to tourism. This paper analyses the city of Ayodhya which is expected to generate significant quantum of solid waste which is assumed for the year 2031 and addresses ways to collect, segregate and treat the waste and reducing the long term impact on the climate and tackle climate change.
