As issues pertaining to the communication of uncertainty transcend disciplinary boundaries this review draws upon research conducted in a range of fields, including: weather, climate policy, health and medicine, environmental risk management, economics, experimental psychology, and engineering. The review highlights a number of factors that are likely to impact on end-users’ interpretation and usage of information concerning confidence and uncertainty in seasonal-to-decadal climate and climate impact predictions. These include: ambiguity aversion, trust in information providers, institutional protocol, technical expertise, level of precision, the type of visualisation tool(s) used, and systematic thought biases. Methods of presenting uncertainty information in numeric, verbal and v...

The sector is therefore of interest in studying global mobility trends and transport-related emissions. In 2005, tourism was responsible for around 5% of all CO2 emissions, of which 75% were caused by passenger transport. Given the rapid growth in tourism, with 1.6 billion international tourist arrivals predicted by 2020 (up from 903 million in 2007), it is clear that the sector will contribute to rapidly growing emission levels, and increasingly interfere with global climate policy. This is especially true under climate stabilisation and “avoiding dangerous climate change” objectives, implying global emission reductions in the order of −50% to −80% by 2050, compared to 2000. Based on three backcasting scenarios, and using techniques integrating quantitative and qualitative elements, this paper discusses the options for emission reductions in the tourism sector and the consequences of mitigation for global tourism-related mobility by 2050. It ends with a discussion of the policy implications of the results.
