S4 Ep79: Why Climate Change is Changing Tourism

In 2021, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change released a report that outlined how climate change is now widespread, rapid, and intensifying. So at this point, is travel is an unnecessary privilege that is worsening our climate situation? Or, is there a way to strike a balance between travel and sustainability? Erin is joined by Dr. Daniel Scott to unpack these difficult questions. GUEST: Dr. Daniel Scott, University Research Chair in Climate and Society in the Geography and Environmental Management as well as the Director of the Interdisciplinary Center on Climate Change at the University of Waterloo (Canada).
