with him so much 6 over against me, just professor ariel. i will have some television diversity. unfortunately, we're out of time, but we appreciate your analysis today. thank you. thank you. thank you for watching . the as far as are known for making of plus but from beaches to towns and cities, popular destinations are increasingly inundated. presidents are fed up and taking to the streets to protest their solutions over tourism. on the italian island of virginia, the government and the tourism industry happened busy looking for new ideas also and the citizen or fast tracking the baltic nations integration into the e u. a ukrainian partial delivery service making new in roads and europe, stream of hydrogen future protest,

much against the growing numbers of tourists and rapidly rising rents plus the huge environmental damage caused by clue ships and scrolling to wrist hotels as in bo, sedona, and venice. people here feel marginalized and say they have 0 benefit from the massive revenues and by the big hotel chains. there's also the fear that excessive tourism will destroy what makes that community's unique. danielle pro, we are not enough. everything revolves around too, or is there any likelihood savannah danger? we can't find a place to live and die dixon. further east in the mediterranean sun, denny, it shows that there is another way to do things. the canyon island is home to one point. 6000000 people, while the number of tourists in 2023 amounted to 7 and

a half 1000000, don't seem to figure out what's a manageable bonds, thanks to the local government working together with the restaurant operators, hotels and b and b's to make tourism most sustainable and it least smoke barrels the island. it began, it was 30 years ago when the 1st concepts imaged for saving more to avoiding waste and relying on local food and other products. as best often please come, every thing we said by that comes from our own garden, like vegetables. and i'm also always ro, locally, right here on the island. a tom, it's one thing with the meat to fish. we buy local when ever we come with a 90 percent of welding minimal transportation. i'm guessing you guys the nationally landscaped forte village result has 1400 beds. the closest h hotels and dozens of luxury bungalows caused the band from the complex. the vehicle's here icicles and electric slug is powered by solar panels from the buildings roofs because southern yet is no short of sun left as

a food from the restaurants has come posted onto used for the gardens. the vacation result was bill cypress, the 2 years ago by lorenzo general c. even back then, he was thinking about how to minimize the impact of such a launch complex on the local environments. take what was the consumption for example, which adds up to some 1000000 leaches daily drinking morsa is scarce in southern yet to especially after the heat wave eyes of the previous few weeks. the regional government declared a water emergency to some thoughts of the islands. lorenzo genesee has a reservoir built specifically for the hotel many years ago. the i said why been contain up to 350000. so, normally during the winter we accumulate enough water to,

to fully provide them. we don't need to just to be a week to the card on to what the, we just use our he said, why? so we have self sufficient. it's enough to irrigate the trees and guns to drinking motives, since tendency is far too valuable. the results for that purpose, whether it comes from the main. so the reservoir, which is why the hotel has its own sewage treatment plant. it may not look less appetizing, but it's certainly appreciated by the environment. we get to the use the water and really cycle uh and uh, we use it for uh, irrigation forgot to bidding. so that it said it too. but ation of 700 cubic meter every day. all the water. well, it's of vital importance. i think that, you know, the future was enough to do without that because that is obviously the temperature

uh increase the products and that any they sell less and less. so i think that this important not to waste a drop of water for the islands. capital is an hours drive away the charming old town and its range of restaurants, make caligari, a tourist magnets, especially in the summer. and it's an ideal base for trips to the see 10 years ago, this identity and also ortiz began limiting access to beaches and other popular destinations in order to protect the islands nature and image. the idea is for visitors to keep coming back and not be patrol by mess tourism the it was difficult at the very beginning is that the still difficult nowadays? but the, there's a different approach from many of our open a door signed enterprises to embrace such philosophy.

sustainability, again, is a saving something for the next v, z evidence that the concept is working well can be found in many places. hardly any holidaymakers now will look across the jews that protect the beaches from erosion due to the sign and 6 dining that function. and of course, disruptive, substantial finals and the fleming goes nearby. likewise, remain on the staff at the hotel complex. we meet marilyn eletta, she shows guess how to make traditional sardine and hosp to specialities by hands using old family recipes. so not that that allow me more the to preserve the memory of all tradition ceiling. that crowns are that teaches you to generations as these things are positive online. that'd be, that'd be all history your, me and i'm not that i'm a more than a half deposit amount of the amount that i'm on that long fall. i could put the we

can also show to risk. so heritage it kick westoff. i bought the apple store, then i noticed that i storia marlena and that makes her living from that heritage. she's also an artist and decorate, posted into she's using traditional techniques. she also embroider as codes and textiles in this identity, in style together with friends, performances in hotels and festivals. she says also introduce visitors to southern and tradition. people the duties ma, a pension my of yeah, this type of tourism most ideal for us. and if it, even though sort of the victoria packet because that particular way of life that plays a role, he added that. and because it enables authorities to integrate, think they're gonna understand will say, i mean these and live in southern yeah. because i called the data the very inside of the, in on

a range of factors related to sustainable tourism. so dania is already doing better than other popular tourist destinations around the globe. but the southern and ministry of tourism says this, didn't a lot of work to do that. no planet be, there's no such the b and that the commitment is that of increasing the areas of with the protected natur just dimension seeks are the ad perfect. in my, the navy asset to national marine parks and that 3 regional box. so to mean that the territory of so the now is lovely and affected or at least upset and more and more to risk taking a positive view of efforts to promote sustainable tourism. one reason alone, many of them to resent

rein travel is sustainable, of course, as well as the low stress way to travel and funds to fit expanding railway networks does an expensive enterprise take. this project currently underway in north eastern europe and building a new line linking the baltic nations to poland and beyond the objective to boost productivities and reduce the regions reliance on russia. photos, you know, ski is on his way to meet the challenge of his life. he's working on the biggest infrastructure project in the history of a sonia lots in this way near the rail baltic. the tracks have depressed several rivers, including the delcava, and we go to build the bridge over and all go. it's not happen every day. it's on sign in the lights up of doing it the so this is the biggest through our in the last 3. yeah. 870 kilometers of track. they come with architectural financial and political challenges. the line is set to run between to linen horse. so the

builders have to buy up lanes, cut down for some plan, the exact route. sometimes there is that comes and you want me instead of transport says ok, i need to provide a new connection there. and there need to provide what say some, some kind of decisions to be there was a person for world expansion projects. and okay, i can understand from governments to the perspective. but there is a limit of how long you can do it for the project engineers. every changing policy means the tracks have to be planned and new, usually with costs rising rail baltic always expect to do cost $6000000000.00 euros . most of it comes from e u coffers. currently, 24000000000 see more accurate and work will take much longer than expected. up until the 2013, we will implement the parts of the project which are really necessary in order to get the train running from full and up until telling. and some of the aspects of

the project we will face out to be on the 2013. the plan are so for learn to make do with what they have. instead of 2 parallel tracks, just one track is enough. for now, critics agree the government they say has to focus on what's absolutely necessary. so we have to stop doing the nice to have things like the, for example, building the re ghost central a railway station as a huge station. we should actually focus on the number of priority to do the line that it's, that it's connect 3, g, a villages talon to bentley, and then an ortho. as of yet baltic trains up and running on tracks left over from soviet times. they have a wider track which means that trains on the baltic states have to be switched on to cars with the european track system to get into poland. for lithuania, connecting the old system to the your p contract network is

a hook union effort. be taught us to discuss is the engineering charges, the route between countless and miscellaneous, and the board has a lot to you. he feels rushed. ever since rush us one ukraine mix well baltic, a more urgent project. basically that's changed the supply chain because from my deal is that usually it was brought from uh, russian billing rush bar, for example. now we, we cannot buy it. and so for example, steel. uh, the rebuttal. uh did say ma'am to now we are over the are buying from, from the polish or from uh, another company and that's increasing the project price adding to the pressure is natal. they say that rail baltic could play a major role in moving military goods and future as a civilian project. but with a huge submitted terry implications because it will increase the ability is for nato reinforcements to flow into the in this way. and yeah,

but not only the 3 india, but also the rest as opposed to countries rust when you train has opened the west for the baltic states independence or most color is more important than ever. and rail baltic is benefiting from this new sense of urgency. the challenges currently facing europe go beyond the sustainability front. a partial delivery service is helping to reconnect millions of ukrainians with let their homeland some of the russian invasion nova post is the largest logistics operator in the country and it's now out to shake off the european market. the logo on display is not very well known here, but that could all change soon. so far, the company is set up branches in 15 european countries where they go by the name of nova post, nova posts potential. i'm european market is huge. with close to 6000000 ukrainians

presently living in the u. like this woman who was sending a parcel to her mother it was choose because uh as soon as her birthday and i just wanted to send small gifts with them. and level courses feels like it from when you come to live the quite fast it was sending things. and this is like a small piece of ukraine. green employ of a load of mir, tells us the items that customers sent to you. cranes, the most are food and clothes. but these days it's also power banks in charging stations being shipped due to blackouts after russian attacks. never post prides itself on being fast and customer friendly. with those are clear and put in for your very customer oriented. for us, the fact that people are satisfied with our services is probably the most important

thing about a 1000 kilometers to the east rivers know that post in central ukraine. this is their largest logistics hub. 20000 packages are processed here every day. 800 people work at the site on a daily basis, but most of the jobs do not require human workers anymore. but size and size of your fee and logistics. that's why is there are there are people. yeah. the i just loved came off, is one of the co founders of know the post the company started in 2001 with 2 friends, making deliveries from the trunk of this car. a pause, very difficult to deliver all goods all around. you. great. especially for business,

especially for small and medium businesses. and they decided to create some ukranian indeed show or you create in fedex. today. no, the post employ is more than 32000 people. they make around 1500000 deliveries every day. their strategy, according to the founder, is the key to their success. the form of all follow up post office is, is very close to starbucks. spend on this, please. yeah, uh you could see for example, uh our post office these uh, these 2 sides on, on cross road, meaning no, the post and ukraine, like starbucks and the us is almost everywhere. customers don't have to go far with countless pick up spots spread across the country, including stores and lockers. never paused ames to be customer friendly and digital

. their app has 7000000 users in the country of less than 40000000. after some 2 decades of continuous growth, it seemed like a success story might come to an end. in february of 2022. he had to close a lot of our post offices, especially on occupied territories, but may be in one or 2 once. we understood that to the still life. he had strong financial position in, in finance, so it was for him to offer a star, let's say, for company, but i remember our dashboard 3 days after invasion. visa, 2 percent of our revenue nova post continues to work in all parts of you created can reach, gaining access to front line towns where they provide

a lifeline to many in the fall of 2022, they were among the 1st companies to move back into the occupied territories in has own and hockey, but their proximity to the front lines also flips them at risk. and mark branch is close to the combat zone, have been attacked in the past, as well as large logistics arms like this one in hockey even june. but despite the challenges, the company says it has managed to decrease delivery times within ukraine from 26 to 24 hours since the beginning of the war. now the post and many partners are no longer entirely focused on ukraine. they have a great plan for these expansion. our next step will be providing this, this saturday is to be e commerce player. so like, uh, uh, alibaba or amazon. but of course now and in the future,

do ukrainians in, in the europe will be our key. the segment of customers building a bridge to ukrainians abroad is the long term goal, entirely self sufficient. without any help of external partners, the which energy sources should power in your future. sustainability is key, so hydrogen has been touted as one of the main alternatives to oil, gas and coal. and ambitious plan. but is it a realistic one? you're getting pretty ambitious about cleaning up it's economy by 2050. that comes in in plants to reach. net 0 emissions to a t list, the content of dispatching big on hydrogen. the miracle fuels less password in the world of energy. let's unpack why that's

a mistake. and whose tends to profit from it's on the surface? hydrogen sounds pretty great. you can make it from a new book that expressed it to you with no greenhouse gas emissions. and then the originally use it to clean up all kinds of things from cars and trucks. and planes and ships to steal making and electricity production to heat thing. this is the principal has a very good story from european perspectives. it also has the benefits that we can most likely produce of domestic in 2022, this became even more relevant. russia invaded ukraine and ended up cutting much of its natural gas supply to europe. brussels lifted to titles and targets with 10000000 tons of renewable hydrogen, produced annually in the european union by 2030, and another 10000000 tons in annual imports. but despite those targets, not much is actually happening. what cust out to don't only a few pipelines,

for example, in the portal for lots of them. and in terms of production capacity in 2023 that were around 213 megawatts of operational electrolytes, us according to an industry study, to produce the envision 10000000 tons by 2030. we need about 600 times more. reality is lagging behind the use big plants, and there's a reason for that. hydrogen is not the miracle solution is your lead us would like it to be as we've established green hydrogen is made from renewable electricity. this means that we need tools to build a loftus moderate more new apples. we need to have lots more solar panels, wind farms being puts in place. the problem is this, though, hydrogen is not the most efficient way of using this energy in relatively expensive process compounds. to the dark use of electricity. so where possible directly using

electricity is the way to go and where it's struggles. we can full back on hydrogen, but we should use it as possibly as possible. hydrogen has been defined as dition pain of energy is something expensive. it's not for every day, it's for the special locations of this makes the use plants look pretty overblown. but it's not the only problem with them. another is that switching things over to a hydrogen is called the height of 10, a, something very small monic year. and that kind of costs, charlie and cheese for pipeline materials. in fact, it's the smallest molecule of that means that can slip into tiny cracks in the pipeline steel. make it more brittle. and the worst case crickets, you might have heard the term h 2 reading in relation to this, but also 2 other pieces of gas infrastructure like at n g terminals or power plants. it's addressed. they can be easily switched to run on hydrogen in the future. but they're actually huge difference is how much

hydrogen they can handle. they might need substantial re fitting off the role before that can carry peel hydrogen. like you, you have a diesel car. you wouldn't call that electrical ready car just because you can use the shot of the car issue as have to end up. got gusting the entire car. and that's the same principle. also that's close to no green hydrogen available. and that's not likely to change soon. crusty repeating union, only 0.2 percent of dedicated production is made from electrolysis. almost the entire rest is gray hydrogen made from fossil fuels, mainly natural gas, which creates lots of c o 2 emissions. meanwhile, europe keeps building gas infrastructure that supposedly age to ready, but since there's no green hydrogen available, it could end up getting used for natural gas or different types of hydrogen. it's a very high risk that they will be using hydrogen which is either great or not properly do. now, blue hydrogen is also made from natural gas. and what's different is that produces

claim. they have to come in on a massive scale before it reaches the atmosphere and then store it will cause it not properly because the technology behind this hasn't been proven properly working . scale. at this point in time is very, very limited. it's technical capacity to capture carbon and to it to produce hydrogen that is acceptable from account protection perspective. meaning if we rely on blue hydrogen, we expect the life of natural gas and create the emissions in the process exactly what hydrogen was supposed to help avoid. it's the natural gas industry that's been loving for building more infrastructure and making blue hydrogen. really good picture of an important part for the lamp observatory and and joe come through lobby registers. they found that out of the 100 because loving groups in the you $25.00 path in one way or another,

advocated for hydrogen in brussels. among them you find many fossil fuel matress, but also some trade groups and organizations. european decision making curious commission that they're very, very happy to meet with them in the general, excuse these they have the expertise definitely called the need to talk to them. but of course they're there to serve their own interest. they see these as the perfect way of continuing their business. so way to solve that leave us. well hydrogen, this part of the solution, but no silver bullet. if it's the roll gets over hyped, it can lead to expensive, inefficient and even climate damage in choices. and the european commission does seem to be back tracking. and the most recent climate scenario, they predict $3000000.00 tons of green hydrogen would be produced in the you and 2013, which is a lot less than the $10000000.00 tons by send us the official target. this could be assigned that the hydrogen hype is starting to crumble and reality is taking over.

that's it for this edition, it's made looking at tourism and innovative new concepts that are sitting local visitors and the environment so much time. whereas the
