Tourism vs Climate Change - Martijn Steijn - eBook (9789090342269)
Tourism vs Climate Change - Martijn Steijn - eBook (9789090342269)
The purpose of this book is to show that travel and tourism aren't just unnecessary leisure activities which need to be reduced to prevent climate change. Traveling has allowed us to interact with different cultures and environments. Traveling has helped to create the safest multicultural society in human history. Before the Covid-19 pandemic tourism was the third biggest industry in the world. It provided more than 10% of the world population with a job, while its carbon footprint was only 8%. Now our World Economy is badly damaged by the Covid-19 pandemic, but tourism might be able to help. Tourism can be used as a sustainable tool to spread the wealth of stronger economies more equally among the people who live in weaker economies. When done right tourism will not only help to make our economy more equal and multiracial, but even greener!

Civil Leadership as the Future of Leadership - Steven de Waal - eBook (9789492004727)
Our societies, institutions and social fabric are currently in the early stages of the third revolution of humanity, the Digital Civil Revolution. Disruption is not restricted to markets.

This totally transforms the media landscape, public opinion, political debate, and the roles of industry and the state toward citizens. Using multiple examples from across the globe, this book explores, analyzes and defines this revolution, its impact, the underlying technology and trends, as well as the special kind of civil leadership needed to harness this new citizen power that is disrupting the public domain. Steven P.M. de Waal, PhD, is a strategic consultant, entrepreneur and chairman of multiple non-executive boards. He combines his extensive experience in the boardroom w…
