Vacunas, clave para reducir las restricciones de los viajes: OMT
Por Juan Carlos Arce/Ciudad de México
El despliegue global de la vacunación y la mayor adopción de soluciones digitales para viajes seguros deberían conducir a un aumento de la movilidad internacional en las próximas semanas y meses, indican los últimos datos de la OMT.
Según la última edición del Informe de restricciones de viaje de la agencia especializada en turismo de las Naciones Unidas, al 1 de junio el 29% de todos los destinos del mundo tienen sus fronteras completamente cerradas al turismo internacional. De estos, más de la mitad han estado completamente cerrados a los turistas desde mayo de 2020 o más, y la mayoría de ellos pertenecen a los Pequeños Estados Insulares en Desarrollo de Asia y el Pacífico. En comparación, solo tres destinos (Albania, Costa Rica, República Dominicana) están completamente abiertos a los turistas, sin restricciones actualmente vigentes.

The world’s running out of time to limit global temperature rise to below two degrees Celsius, a matter of life or death for climate vulnerable countries on the front line of the crisis, the UN Secretary General reiterated on Thursday.
Speaking to the first
Climate Vulnerable Finance Summit of 48 nations systemically exposed to climate related disasters, António Guterres said they needed reassurance that financial and technical support will be forthcoming.
“To rebuild trust, developed countries must clarify now, how they will effectively deliver $100 billion dollars in climate finance annually to the developing world, as was promised over a decade ago”, he said.
Hydromet Gap Report 2021
The first Hydromet Gap Report tells us how far we have to go to tap the benefits of effective weather and climate services. It presents the challenges of the complex global and local undertaking required and proposes priority actions to scale up support to developing countries to strengthen their capacity.
It highlights how investments in multi-hazard early warning systems create benefits worth at least ten times their costs and are vital to build resilience to extreme weather. And yet,only 40 percent of countries currently have effective warning systems in place, and large gaps remain in the vital underpinning observations data upon which these services depend, particularly in Least Developed Countries (LDCs) and Small Island Developing States (SIDS).
