For many European Union islands, tourism is an important economic driver but also a source of vulnerability in the context of climate change. The Conference of Peripheral Maritime Regions (CPMR), in collaboration with regional partners, is leading a strategic shift towards tourism models that emphasize community well-being, environmental protection, and climate resilience.
As part of the Virtual Island Summit 2025, the CPMR Islands Commission is organizing a roundtable entitled: “Connecting Nature-Based Climate Resilience & Sustainable Tourism: Pathways for Insular Territories.”
This session will bring together regional authorities, project leaders, and policy experts to discuss how nature-based solutions and inclusive planning can transform island tourism from a source of vulnerability into a tool for economic diversification and climate adaptation.
The Institute for Tourism is pleased to announce that our researcher Dr. Izidora Marković Vukadin will participate in this event.
The roundtable will take place on 15 September 2025 at 17:00 (CEST). The event will be held online, and participation is free of charge with prior registration at www.virtualislandsummit.com.
