The 16 Partnerships of UAEU

This Partnership will focus on the specific issues related to tourism in cities as a crucial component of a sustainable development of the urban economies. It will be based on a working definition of sustainable tourism and aims to use a method of collaborative, “co-creation” process, followed by an “co-implementation” phase, as described in the Transition Pathway for Tourism.

This Partnership will focus on green and blue infrastructure in an urban context and will create extensive links to other priority sectors, namely the built environment, sustainable transport, water management and urban agriculture. Additionally, it will reflect on biodiversity preservation and adaptation to climate change. The Partnership would be aligned with the objectives of cities to provide higher well-being to citizens through cleaner air, better inclusiveness and more aesthetic environment.
