Last week, Dr. David Volken and Marco Kaschuba were invited by the Lions Club Marbella in Andalusia in the South of Spain to deliver a talk at a prestigious golf club on the changing weather and climate and the possibilities of sustainable tourism. The event provided a unique platform to share insights, showcase our work, and engage in a meaningful dialogue about pressing environmental challenges.

The presentation delved into the drought issues affecting not just Andalusia, but all of Spain. While the region faces severe water shortages, we also highlighted positive initiatives in water management, such as innovative irrigation techniques and regional conservation projects. These solutions serve as inspiring examples of how collaboration and innovation can make a real difference.

We also took the opportunity to present our Andalusian reports from recent years, which have reached millions of viewers on TV and online media. These stories captured the beauty and challenges of the region, drawing attention to the importance of sustainability in preserving its natural and cultural heritage.

The session concluded with a lively discussion and Q&A, where the audience shared thoughtful questions and ideas about the future of tourism and climate resilience. Events like this remind us of the critical role education and collaboration play in addressing the challenges of our time.
