The new Urban Agenda's proposal is to increase the resilience of cities and their capacity for responding to completely new and emerging challenges, as well as to promote adaptation to climate change and protect the environment. Some of these measures include: better urban planning, quality infrastructures and improved capacity of local responses, all these being factors that concern the development and planning of tourism in cities.
Urban tourism can play a leading role in adopting the Paris Agreements on a practical level, with their commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions in such key areas as sustainable energy, environmental sustainability and urban resilience.
