Una panoramica sul ruolo dell’ecosistema suolo e i temi delle negoziazioni internazionali alla COP16 sulla desertificazione
Read MoreSoil is a vital and irreplaceable resource essential to the economy, society, and environment. Let’s explore the key themes from COP16 on soil and desertification.
The term “overtourism” was reportedly coined by the travel and tourism platform Skift in 2016, driven by concerns over annual tourist flows reaching one billion.

Amid the ongoing debate around overtourism and anti-tourism, it’s worth asking if a return to pre-pandemic levels is desirable.
