Hello,
I would welcome your opinon on how the following could be translated into English: "instancias internacionales"
The context is: Lo cierto es que las instancias internacionales vinculadas al turismo, tanto las institucionals como las privadas, apenas han reaccionado hasta hace muy poco tiempo. Desde las primeras formulaciones de la Cumbre de Rio en 1992 ha existido un largo vacio (con el parentesis de la Conferencia en Djerba (2003)) hasta 2007, ano en el que la Organizacion Mundial de Turismo....."
The text is a formal article dealing with the impact of climate change on the tourism industry in Spain.
A word that comes to my mind is "innitiatives" but then this is not even remotely related to the meaning of the word given by the dictionaries I've consulted.
Thank you!
