Zambia was the host for the recently concluded 5th IIPT African Conference on Climate Change. The conference was a huge success. Delegates from over 35 countries and 440+ participants attended the conference. From senior bureaucrats to academicians the conference brought together a right mix of audience and speakers.
The President of Zambia, the patron of the conference, and the Minister for Tourism, Zambia both emphasized on peace to promote tourism. The President said, "Tourism also helps to foster peace in the world as every traveller is essentially a peace ambassador."
Ms. Catherine Namugala, Minister said. “We all know that climate change is a global problem that needs a global solution. Moreover, the African continent and the rest of the developing world is amongst the most vulnerable when it comes to climate change. The effects of climate change, such as extreme weather phenomena, are issues that will greatly affect the tourism sector and need urgent actions from all of us.”
