Scenic panoramic picture-postcard view of famous Hallstatt mountain village with Hallstatter See in ... [+]
getty

Hallstatt a town in Austria declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site is so picturesque, as if painted against a dramatic backdrop of mountains and the clear waters of the Hallstätter See, that it's thought to have inspired Arendelle, the central location of the Frozen film franchise and the birthplace of Anna and Elsa.

It attracts so many tourists - over one million every year - who want to snap selfies with that famous view that residents have had enough. Due to the locals' protests against over-tourism, the town's government decided to put up a wood fence to prevent visitors from taking pictures in the most "instagrammable" spot.

MORE FROM FORBES These Towns In Europe Will Pay You Up To $55,000 To Relocate There

The barrier intended to stop tourists from disrupting the lives of residents, produced such a social media backlash, according to Euronews, that it had to be removed.

Instead, Hallstatt's mayor announced that they will install a banner reminding tourists that people live in the area. "To curb overtourism, Hallstatt has already introduced daily limits on the number of buses and cars that can enter the town," Euronews reports. "But it regularly reaches these caps and Mayor Alexander Scheutz told the Austrian press that residents just want to be left alone."

Not just Hallstatt

Blighted by over-tourism, many destinations around Europe are so crowded that exasperated locals are asking for more significant restrictions on the numbers of visitors, particularly at the most popular spots for selfies.

Other recent measures against overcrowding include caps on the numbers of visitors to Marseille, France, and bans on cruise ships in Venice, Italy.

Several Spanish islands have recently expressed frustration with the influx of British tourists. The Spanish island of Lanzarote has declared itself a "tourist-saturated area," while Mallorca plans to set a limit of 430,000 tourist beds across the island.

The picturesque town of Portofino on the Italian Riviera, with only 400 residents but swamped by thousands of visitors, established "no hanging-around" zones to stop tourists posing for selfies. Anyone caught lolling on the quay for too long between 10:30 a.m and 6 p.m. risks a fine of some €270.

"Overtourism has become a major issue everywhere from Europe's beaches to popular capital cities," Euronews adds.

The most crowded cities

Among the most crowded cities that "boast fantastic architecture and culture but attract so many tourists that locals are suffering," Deutsche Welle (DW) identified:

Venice, Italy, with millions flooding the city throughout the year, counts 21 tourists per inhabitant and is suffering from serious environmental challenges given its unique location in the midst of a lagoon;

Rome, Italy, had 26 million tourists last year forcing measures such as restricted access to the Trevi Fountain and barring people from sitting on the famous 'Spanish Steps';

Prague, Czech Republic, with just 1.3 million inhabitants, experiences more than eight million tourists annually;

Dubrovnik, Croatia, a famous cruise ship destination, was put big-time on tourist maps via Game of Thrones, fielding 1.5 million-plus visitors a year;

Amsterdam Netherlands, where the vexed locals suffer their streets taken by hordes of noisy tourists, is projected to have 18 million visitors this year;

Barcelona, Spain, with 1.6 million inhabitants, has gotten a record 12 million visitors;

Lisbon, Portugal, home to one million locals, gets between four and five million tourists a year.

Other European capitals packed with tourists

The Euronews list of Europe's busiest capitals for the summer includes:

Ireland's fun-loving Dublin, with 11 tourists per resident and "home of Guinness, and the beer's brewery tours that have welcomed close to 23 million people since first opening in 2000."

Tallinn, Estonia's capital with 10 tourists per inhabitant.

Paris, France, with nine tourists per resident.

Athens, Greece, with eight tourists per inhabitant.

The European portal The Mayor.EU includes on its list:

Brugge, Belgium, on par with Venice in terms of tourists per inhabitant.

Rhodes, Greece, also matching Venice and Brugge. Along with Mykonos and Santorini, the Greek islands harboring small communities, these islands were never designed to sustain the onslaught of millions of visitors.

Reykjavik, Iceland, with 16 tourists per inhabitant, has become increasingly popular in recent years with its 'alternative' and unique landscapes.

The busiest countries for the summer

Spire Global , a space-based data analytics identified the three busiest summer countries according to last year's international flights:

- Greece: With 287,070 international flights during the summer months, Greece claims the top travel spot. That's a nine-fold increase in August, Greece's busiest month, compared to the country's quieter month of February.

- Croatia: In second, sees a five-fold surge in international flights during the summer, totalling over 55,150 inbound flights in July.

- Albania: Third, attracting more than 35,530 international flights in July, Albania experiences a five-fold increase in flight density over the summer compared to the off-peak season.

Inspired by social media

If you want social media to inspire your next trip to Europe, Holidu, the holiday rental portal, hasrevealed the most popular cities on TikTok:

Barcelona, has 106,100,000,000 views; Paris, 64,800,000,000, Manchester, England, 10,100,000,000; Lyon France, 9,300,000,000; Stuttgart, Germany, 9,200,000,000; Porto, Portugal, 3,500,000,000; Amsterdam, The Netherlands 9,900,000,000; Marseille, France 9,200,000,000; Dublin, Ireland, 5,600,000,000; Bordeaux, France, 2,600,000,000; Lugano Switzerland, 657,700,000; Madrid, 32,600,000,000; Milan, 13,600,000,000; Mannheim, Germany, 3,000,000,000; and Salzburg, Austria 1,400,000,000 views.

The slogan that accompanied Donald Trump's victory as president of the United States in 2016. Saul Loeb/AFP

2019 is set to be the second warmest year on record, ending the warmest decade on record, another reminder that climate change is the defining issue of our time.

Yet 2019 will not be remembered as the year when the world finally united to save the planet. Despite massive worldwide demonstrations and increasing global awareness and anxiety, the December 2019 UN Climate Change Conference (a.k.a., COP25) in Madrid failed spectacularly.

The reason? A handful of countries blocked significant action, in particular the United States, Brazil, Australia and Saudi Arabia, while China and India conveniently used the pretext of the historical responsibility of rich nations as an excuse for doing nothing.

A month before the COP25, President Trump formally confirmed the exit of the United States from the Paris climate agreement - just one policy change among more than 90 others aimed at rolling back environmental regulations. Because the United States is still the most powerful country in the world whose president has the most media coverage, this has created a toxic "Trump effect" that has weakened the credibility of international commitments and emboldened others, especially populists and nationalists, to shirk their responsibilities.

But how much do the aggressively anti-environmental actions of a minority president actually reflect American public opinion?

The US versus the rest of the world?

Even though Americans are less likely to be concerned about climate change than the rest of the world (by at least about 10 to 20 percentage points), a majority (59%) still see it as a serious threat - a 17-point increase in six years ( Pew Research). But the devil is in the details. Only about 27% of Republicans say climate change is a major threat, compared with 83% of Democrats, a 56-percentage point difference!

Pew Research Center

Pew Research Center

Climate skepticism/denial exists in other Western democracies, mostly among right-wing populists, but even by comparison, the American Republicans are the least likely to see it as a major threat.

This in turn raises another question: why are American Republicans more skeptical about climate change than right-wing voters in other countries? The first reason has to do with polarization in politics and identity.

Polarization

American polarization has deep roots in racial, religious and ideological divisions and can be traced back to the reaction of conservatives to the cultural, social and political transformations of the 1960s and 1970s. This polarization eventually made its way into politics in the 1980s and, even more so, in the 1990s when it became a 'culture war.' As global warming emerged on the US national agenda, it became one of those divisive hot-button issues in the culture war, along with abortion, gun control, health care, race, women and LGBTQ's rights.

The fact that progressive Democrats took on the issue of global warming early on - former vice president Al Gore was a leading voice on the issue - and that the solutions they offered had to do with statist measure such as carbon taxes, a cap-and-trade system, or energy rationing resulted in further politicization of the issue.

In 2001, then-president George W. Bush withdrew from the Kyoto protocol asserting that it would be too costly for the US economy. And in 2010, the Tea Party movement solidified Republican hostility toward the climate-change issue, preventing Congress from passing a cap-and-trade bill. It came as no surprise then when Donald Trump's comment that climate change was a "concept created by the Chinese" to make "US manufacturing non-competitive" did little to damage his 2016 presidential campaign.

Indeed, his criticism of the Paris accord as being "very, very expensive", "unfair", "job killing" and "income-killing" clearly resonated with his electorate.

As much as Donald Trump's political strategy has been to intensify polarization and to appeal to his base, he is more the symptom than the deeper cause of this polarization. Undeniably, the measures needed to curb greenhouse-gas emissions imply government intervention and internationally binding treaties that go against the conservatives' ideals of individual freedom, limited government and free markets.

Trust and mistrust

More than most other issues, our acceptance of the human impact on climate change is contingent on our trust in science and environmental scientists. For most of us, It is a matter of trust and not intelligence since we cannot do the science ourselves. Americans of all stripes generally trust scientists (86%), except for environmental research where there is a 30-point gap between Republicans and Democrats, a gap - more surprisingly - that is persistent among those with high science knowledge.

Pew Research Center

Trust in government is also highly partisan, but Republicans have tended to be more specifically wary of international institutions. For instance, only 43% of Republicans have a favorable view of the United Nations compared to 80% of Democrats. There are fringe conservatives, like Alex Jones or members of the John Birch Society the alt-right who want to "get out of the UN."

In many ways, Donald Trump's "America first" nationalist slogan is a rejection of international institutions, internationalism and cosmopolitanism - something he made clear at the the 73rd Session of the United Nations General Assembly in 2018.

Anti-intellectualism and anti-science

Americans have always tended to distrust the government, the elite and expertise. This is nothing new. In his 1964 Pulitzer Prize winning book, Anti-Intellectualism in American Life, Richard Hofstadter identified two sources of American anti-intellectual sentiment: business, which he depicted as unreflective, and religion, particularly evangelicalism. With its market-oriented, pro-business, and pro-religious agenda, the Republican party is naturally more distrustful of intellectuals and academics, including scientists.

This is fertile ground for right-wing think-tanks and lobbyists to sow doubt in the minds of conservatives who have a cognitive bias against climate change. And there has been no shortage of those, from the Global Climate Coalition, the Koch brothers to the Cato Institute, the Heritage Foundation, the fossil-fuel industry or the Heartland Institute. In Merchants of Doubt, Naomi Oreskes and Erik M. Conway have shown how these groups use a strategy questioning scientific research similar to that used by the tobacco industry in the 1970s and 1980s.

For a long time, these pressure groups allies in the American press that more often portrayed climate science as "uncertain" than the press in other developed nations. More significantly, Fox News has been the true echo chamber of climate-change deniers. The result is that Fox News viewers are less likely to accept the science of global warming and climate change. And now, the social media have only made the situation worse. A recent study found that videos challenging the scientific consensus on climate change were outnumbered by those that supported it. Then there is Donald Trump who has, since becoming president, attacked the scientists in his own administration by censoring their findings, shutting down government studies and pressuring scientists (full report available here) to reflect his own thinking on the issue.

Confronted with the reality of natural disasters and rising temperatures, most Republicans no longer deny climate change, rather they deny that humans are responsible, and warn that it will affect the economy.

The Frontier myth of an endless economic bonanza

When confronted by journalists about climate change, President Trump diverts the questions by focusing on the immediate benefits are more concrete than potential, vague, long-term gains, as he did during his news conference with President Macron of France in Biarritz, in August 2019.

This idea that nature offers vast untapped reserves that will yield perpetual and painless growth is evocative of what historian Richard Slotkin called the Frontier's "bonanza economics". It is an old American story that back to the Puritans: that the wilderness had to be conquered and transformed, that the Anglo-Saxon race was defined by its ability to exploit it, which also justified the displacement of indigenous people who did not work the land.

In this story, the president becomes the Frontier hero who ventures into the wilderness (of nature and politics) to transform it. His professed love for "beautiful clean coal" not only pleases his voters in coal-mining states, it also taps into the belief that nature is first and foremost an infinite provider of wealth that will contribute to the prosperity of all Americans. From Alaska to Minnesota, the Trump administration is all about easing restrictions on drilling, logging and mining at the expense of the protection of the land.

Yet there is another quintessentially American approach to nature. One that sees the presence of the divine in nature and has acknowledged the exhaustability of land and resources. One that is reflected in the writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson, and Henry David Thoreau, in the paintings of the Hudson River School, and in the activism of John Muir. It is also ingrained in the politics of Theodore Roosevelt, who used the ethos of the Frontier for his conservationist policies. If values trump facts, maybe this is the American story that today's conservatives should embrace.

It was a historic gavel strike. Ten years ago, on December 12, 2015, Laurent Fabius brought down his small leaf-shaped gavel. The president of COP21 and then French foreign affairs minister had just secured the adoption, by 195 countries, of the Paris Agreement on climate change, the first international treaty to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The atmosphere was euphoric. The agreement entered into force on November 4, 2016, and has now been ratified by every country except Iran, Libya and Yemen. The United States will withdraw from it for the second time in January 2026.

The Paris Agreement aims to limit global warming "well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels and pursuing efforts" to keep it below 1.5°C, without setting a specific timeframe. It stipulates that countries must strengthen their emissions reduction commitments every five years and that developed countries provide financial assistance to developing countries, which are the main victims of climate-related hazards. Ten years on, has it delivered on its promises?

The results remain mixed. On the one hand, countries' commitments and the rise of a low-carbon economy have altered the projected course of warming by 2100. On the other hand, greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise and the +1.5°C threshold is now "out of reach," according to prominent scientists.

Complete the WS and in "my notes", try to link the documents to the idea of soft power with Oxbridge and also to the relation to the world.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
In a nutshell, soft power is based on people's ability to achieve positive outcomes by attracting and persuading others to adopt their goals.

Those assets all equip us to play a significant-perhaps unique-role in exercising soft power and influencing the world for good.

The success of soft power heavily depends on the actor's reputation within the international community, as well as the flow of information between actors.

While soft power can be used with bad intentions and wreak horrible consequences, it differs in terms of means.

The generation of soft power is also affected in positive (and negative) ways by a host of non-state actors within and outside the country.
