Monaco presents white paper on responsible and sustainable tourism

Thursday, December 16, 2021

Environmental protection has been treated as an issue of vital importance for many years in Monaco. H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco brought forth a strong policy aimed toward promoting sustainable development both nationally and internationally.

At the Sovereign’s call, the Principality has committed to reducing its greenhouse gas emissions by 55% by 2030 from their 1990 levels and achieving full carbon neutrality by 2050. In Monaco itself, actions are focused on biodiversity, resource management, and greenhouse gas reductions.

The White Paper on Responsible Tourism in Monaco was officially presented on Monday 29 November, in the presence of Jean Castellini, Minister of Finance and Economy, Caroline Rougaignon, President of the Economic, Social and Environmental Council, Annabelle Jaeger-Seydoux, Director of the Mission for Energy Transition, Patrick Rolland, Deputy Director of the Department of Environment, as well as partners and stakeholders from the tourism industry.

The Paper aims offering healthier understanding of tourism in Monaco and identifying its strengths and weaknesses to help prepare for the tourism of tomorrow and make it even more sustainable, using the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) and the Principality’s energy transition targets as a foundation.
