UNIC’s Lightning Bites series feature short, impactful talks from diverse perspectives. Each Lightning Bites event addresses the critical challenges and opportunities of a timely topic or discipline.
Our resercher, Aurkene Alzua will explore the environmental impact of festivals and events in tourism, which, while culturally and economically valuable, contribute significantly to greenhouse gas emissions. The talk will focus on the importance of raising awareness for greener festival destinations.
Through an analysis of pro-environmental behavior and its role in sustainable tourism, Dr. Alzua-Sorzabal will highlight how festivals can be restructured to reduce their ecological impact and align with global sustainability goals.
