]]> Measuring the environmental impact of tourism is essential to understand and address any potential damage to the environment in our Protected Areas. However, accurately measuring environmental impacts and the overall Ecological Footprint is a challenge. In recent years, several tools have been developed to approach this complex topic.

In this webinar, EUROPARC and its partners, including Global Footprint Network, dove into how environmental impact can be measured. Participants were presented with a tool specifically devised for measuring ecological and social ecotourism impact in Protected Areas, all while ensuring the quality of the itinerary: the MEET Ecotourism Indicator Monitoring Platform, based on the MEET Standard.

The session provided both a theoretical framework of the impact measuring tool and complementary resources, and also gave two practical examples drawn from two Protected Areas that have been awarded with EUROPARC’s European Charter for Sustainable Tourism. These Protected Areas have already used the MEET Standard to develop their ecotourism packages and calculate and reduce their impact. We heard from La Garrotxa Volcanic Zone Natural Park and Colline Metallifere National Park. Four new online courses developed by MEET on how to develop ecotourism itineraries in Protected Areas were also launched at the end of the webinar.

Er ist Präsident der Organisation «Global Footprint Network», einer internationalen Forschungsgruppe in Oakland (Kalifornien), die sich mit dem ökologischen Fussabdruck beschäftigt, einer Art Buchhaltungssystem für natürliche Ressourcen.

In «3 Fragen zum Klima» kommen Menschen aus Basel zu Wort und erzählen, was der Klimawandel mit ihrem Leben zu tun hat, wie sie zum Thema Umwelt- und Klimaschutz stehen und ob sie optimistisch oder pessimistisch in die Zukunft schauen.

Climate protection, minimum wages, human rights, sustainability – companies are increasingly confronted with society’s moral expectations and face the challenge of meeting them under the tough competitive conditions of a globalized world. Topics such as corporate governance and CSR are booming. But many companies still find it difficult to reflect such opportunities and risks in their traditional management structures. This is particularly evident in the example of “purpose.” This buzzword – which has been ascribed numerous definitions for a wide variety of communication messages in the wake of Fridays for Future, Generation Z, and the global climate crisis – has long since become a business driver. Without purpose, there is no progress – but promises are often made without firm integration into management processes. Nowadays, empty marketing messages are quickly exposed. What is communicated must also be experienced.
