These impacts of tourism-induced economic activities are often underestimated, and while social impacts are increasingly being considered in some tourist hubs like Barcelona or Dubrovnik, environmental burdens in particular are often not (yet) addressed. COVID-19 has devastated the tourism industry, with many livelihoods at stake, but perhaps there is a window of opportunity to rebuild better. In December, we offer three webinars that strive to build a community interested in transforming this sector and steering it towards low or zero-carbon intensity, while keeping a specific focus on the social dimension and lessons from the pandemic. 3 DEC 2020 Towards a Fair and Low Carbon Tourism Join us as we chart a course Towards a Fair and Low Carbon Tourism, with a particular focus on tourism-dependent Spain. *Register* <https://gef.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fbf70df867e35f9b496f3833d&id=fef4cd96d5&e=e33317f743> 7 DEC 2020 Transformative pathways for tourism Take part in our webinar to engage in political and expert debate on how the tourism industry can be transformed in the midst of pandemic and climate crisis! *Register* <https://gef.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fbf70df867e35f9b496f3833d&id=8ab3c699af&e=e33317f743> 10 DEC 2020 Sun and Sand Tourism Decades of mass tourism have put the Mediterranean coast under tremendous environmental pressure, yet the livelihoods of millions depend on it.

The implications of Covid-19 go deep, worsening social inequalities, speeding up disruptive technological change, and exposing a broken relationship with the natural world. From the experience of urban areas to new solidarities such as the notion of essential workers, this edition traces its causes and effects, as well as our response. Spanning loneliness among the elderly, the future of public health, and biodiversity loss, it tracks how the pandemic shines a light on fundamental challenges for the 21st century. While some wish to return to business as usual, putting health over the economy has forced the politics of life and living together out into the open, and as this edition shows, the task for Greens and progressives are keeping them at the centre of our politics.
