1 The World Bank Impacts of Climate Change in the Tourism Sector in Mexico Coordinator of the Climate Change Program National Institute of Ecology-SEMARNAT April
2 INTRODUCTION Scientific evidence indicates that climate change is caused by man-made emissions of greenhouse gases and is emerging, with the loss of biodiversity and degradation of ecosystems and their environmental services, as the most important environmental problem in the twenty-first century and one of the biggest global challenges that humanity is facing. For its adverse effects predictable, climate change transcends the environment field and represents a growing threat to many development processes. On the whole, requires a multilateral approach, since any country can deal with it alone. For its temporal dimension, requiring long-term planning.
3 INTRODUCTION Climate change is an issue of strategic security, national and global, there is an urgent need to increase the efforts of mitigation (reduction of GHG emissions), and develop their ability to adapt to adverse predictable impacts. Based on scientific evidence, the latest economic data indicated that inaction in the present will rise exponentially costs of adaptation in the future. The international political response to climate change began with the adoption of the United Nations Framework on Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in This Convention provides a framework for action which aims to stabilize the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, to avoid that human activity interferes dangerously with the climate system.
4 INTRODUCTION The United Nations declared Tourism as the largest industry in the world1. Tourism is a source of wealth, employment and stability in Mexico, is the third generator of foreign currency (INE- SEMARNAT, 2006). Changes in climate due to climate change could have very adverse consequences in the Tourism sector in Mexico. Services and related sectors could be affected (INE- SEMARNAT, 2006). 1.

9 Impacts of climate change Climate change: a development problem Predictable effects of climate change: mostly negative, especially for developing countries by the lack of ability to adapt and by be located in vulnerable regions to climate change.
10 The Formation of Hurricanes In areas near Mexico, tropical cyclones are developed in the Atlantic Ocean, which has an average of about 11 tropical cyclones per season, of which 6 reach hurricane status, whereas in the northeast Pacific Ocean the average is of 15 tropical cyclones per season, of which 8 reach hurricane status.

13 Considerations During Hurricane Wilma, the surface temperature anomalies in the Caribbean Sea were lower than 1.5 C. In climate change scenarios, average temperatures in the Caribbean Sea are expected to be up to 2 C higher (with respect to the current climate) during the decade of 2020s and up to 3 C higher during the decade of 2050s (INE-SEMARNAT, 2006).

29 Charging principles in the insurance industry The hydrometeorological threats are: - High frequency and - Catastrophic exposure For its catastrophic nature, the INSURED community in Mexico contributes as a whole with raw material to maintain affordable fees in the areas most exposed. The tariff must be sufficient to absorb variations in frequency and severity from the disasters. It is desirable to recharge the tariff with margins to build up reserves to level the catastrophic cost at the time. Source: Mexican Association of Insurances Institutions (AMIS) (February )
30 Adaptation of the Insurance tariff after Wilma The previous tariff was based on experience of almost 6 years. A catastrophic risk can not be based only on experience. Increased exposure by concentration, changes in the patterns of construction, hotel rooms equipment, and so on. Insufficient premiums. There wasn t properly valued the risk. Increased frequency and severity recognized. Adequacy of international models. Costs of optional coverages. It is not adequately considered the costs of retrocession.

33 Some recommendations for adapting the tourism sector to climate change (INE-SEMARNAT, 2006) Improve the rules of construction: non-structural elements (coatings) are very fragile to strong winds. "Curtains" for the protection of extreme winds. Overcome deficiencies in the specific procedures for the operation of all systems (ex. telecommunications) in the event of hurricanes. Improve the coordination of emergency actions among institutions and hotels. Reduce the vulnerability of access roads (roads, highways, airport). Establish a center for emergency management, sufficiently equipped and tough. Establish a system to support decision making, rather than access to specific or local information.

38 ACTIONS THAT THE MEXICAN GOVERNMENT IS DOING FOR ADAPTING TO CLIMATE CHANGE
39 Inter-Ministerial Commission on Climate Change (CICC) Commission structure Established on 25 April Its aim is to coordinate the actions of the agencies of the Federal Public Administration, concerning mitigation and adaptation to climate change.
40 Working Group for Strategy and Policy of Adaptation, GT-ADAPT, from CICC The GT-ADAPT, was constituted on March 12, The presidency and coordination is in charge of the National Institute of Ecology. It aims to support the formulation of policies and strategies for adapting at the sectoral, regional and national levels. It consists of the seven Secretariats members of the CICC, plus delegates from: SECTUR SSA (Cofepris) INEGI SEGOB (Cenapred) Also participating delegates from Ine, Conagua, Smn, Conabio and Conafor (SEMARNAT bodies).
41 Working Group for Strategy and Policy of Adaptation, GT-ADAPT, from CICC A workshop was conducted in August 2007, in which it was agreed how to work in the GT-ADAPT, through a matrix of impacts and adaptation to climate change. The matrix takes into account six broad considered key systems and in turn constituted by subsystems: Agriculture, livestock, forestry and fishing Water Ecosystems Energy, industry and services (TOURISM) Transport and communications infrastructures Population and human settlements As a result of the work done, framed in the National Strategy on Climate Change from Mexico, in 2008 will be presented the Special Programme on Climate Change.

43 Climate Change in Mexico. Information by State and Sector Sector example: Tourism
44 Conclusions (1) Tourist areas of Cancun and other parts of Mexico are vulnerable to the effects produced by intense weather phenomena. In particular wave-tide storm, wind and rain produced by more intense hurricanes. The history of tropical cyclones in the Atlantic Ocean, the theory of Maximum Potential Intensity and climate models show that increases in sea surface temperatures are accompanied by more intense hurricanes. The assessment of the magnitude and direction of impact on tourism as a consequence of global climate change is a first step towards generating adaptation measures to face the impacts of a changing climate.
45 Conclusions (2) Faced with global warming foresee by the IPCC, we can expect more intense hurricanes than those registered so far. Even if it global warming doesn t occur, we can expect economic damage higher in the future due to increasing of population, constructions and communication roads in high-risk areas of Mexico, particularly in coastal areas. Temperature of the sea surface in the Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico and Mexican Pacific could rise between 1 and 2 C, favoring the probability of tropical cyclone reaching higher level in the Saffir- Simpson scale. It requires adaptive measures to avoid future losses in the tourism sector. Much of these measures can be design, redesign and engineering.
