  The term “Empty Spain” (“La España vaciada”) refers to the agricultural-reliant regions in the vast interior of Spain that have suffered massive emigrations during the rural exodus of the 1950s and 1960s. This was largely due to a political period that focused on industrialization, which resulted in the rapid development of larger cities and tourist-friendly coasts, leading to a decline in Spain’s rural population. As a result, farmers in these regions were unable to find enough labor and had to abandon their ancient trees, some of which were between 100 and 1.000 years old.     The challenges experienced…

Surprisingly, one of the largest contributors to global carbon emissions is something we might not think about: our clothes. It’s easy to forget that each piece of clothing has a hidden cost, but the fashion industry is responsible for 10% of annual global carbon emissions, surpassing both maritime shipping and international flights combined. And with fashion’s greenhouse gas emissions projected to increase by over 50% by 2030, the need to take action has never been…

The ecological footprint of modern consumerism is undeniable, and with businesses aiming to achieve net-zero within the next 20 years climate finance has grown significantly. While certain aspects of it, such as scope 1 emissions*, have a particularly noticeable and easily measurable impact on the environment, it is important to recognize that all daily activities and purchases contribute to greenhouse gas emissions. For example, in the UK, online shopping has continued to increase -a total of $129 billion spent in 2021, although the average transaction value was below $130, indicating that the majority of online consumer activity consists of low-value…
