Molden’s talk was titled Climate+Change and Sustainable Tourism: A regional cooperation perspective in the Hindu Kush Himalaya Region. Its key message was related to the impacts of climate change, which, Molden noted, are becoming apparent in the Hindu Kush Himalaya (HKH). Tourism is a priority sector in the HKH affected by climate change. Molden pointed out that tourism is fundamental for sustainable development and seizing opportunities emerging from change should be the way forward for intraregional tourism.
Tourism Specialist Anu Kumari Lama from ICIMOD delivering her talk—Understanding Adventure Tourism Sustainability: Destination Resilience Perspective.

Besides contributing as a speaker, Lama was also part of the technical committee that helped set conference agendas, topics, and speakers for the GAMCE 2018.
The three-day event was attended by 200 participants including European tour operators and mountaineering professionals, adventure enthusiasts, and tourists from around the world. There were 32 exhibitors of adventure travel services and gears at the event.
