Carmelo León, coordinator of the Soclimpact project and director of the Tides Institute of the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, points out the need for "commitment" to address one of the great challenges of humanity. Go to download The Soclimpact project has evaluated the risks of climate change for tourism activity in the Canary Islands, estimating the loss of GDP of between 5.7 and 6.2 percent of GDP if nothing is done to reduce emissions. The project has been carried out with the help of twenty-four partners from twelve islands corresponding to countries such as Portugal, Italy, Spain, Cyprus, France and Malta. It involves applying specific macroeconomic models for each of the islands based on how climate change factors could influence employment, production and other economic variables in the period 2050-2100. Loss of tourist attraction The project coordinator, Carmelo León, points out that the conclusions are similar to those of other studies of more aggregate models, although with a greater impact due to the weight of tourism in the GDP of the islands. Thus, factors such as storms, rain, damage to infrastructure, loss of beach surface or increased temperatures could cause it to lose part of its tourist attraction.
To avoid this, León advocates for “fundamental social change and a commitment” to one of the biggest problems facing humanity. The Las Palmas de Gran Canaria International Film Festival pays tribute to Claudio Utrera The journalist, film critic and former director of the contest claims to maintain his "deep and intense" love affair with the seventh art. Go to download The Las Palmas de Gran Canaria International Film Festival will pay tribute next Saturday at the multiplexes in the El Muelle shopping center to its promoter and first director, the WhatsApp Number List journalist and film critic Claudio Utrera. At that event, which was planned for last year's edition, he will be awarded the festival's extraordinary prize, something that Utrera welcomes "with satisfaction and particularly proud." He affirms that his 'thorn' is not having been able to bring the actor Anthony Hopkins to the festival. Utrera reminds us that, although this year the twentieth edition is celebrated, the festival is already twenty-two years old, since two editions were suspended: that of 1999, due to a “unilateral” decision by the then mayor Juan José Cardona, and that of the year 2020 due to the covid-19 pandemic. He assures that he still continues to collaborate with the festival by watching films, since, during the pandemic, he has seen “more cinema than ever”, either in his own home or in movie theaters “with all the inconveniences that it entails now.
He claims to continue with his “deep and intense love affair” with the seventh art. The series: the best film school He points out that a good part of this cinema is made today through television series, "which are the best film schools", and not only the American series, but also the Spanish ones, as is the case with Antidisturbios, "a model series in all the orders”: “The spirit of cinema is trying to be reborn there.”The temporary closure of the Suez Canal will mean delays of up to two months in port operations Evergreen cargo ship in the Suez Canal | TVE Evergreen cargo ship in the Suez Canal | TVE Juan Francisco Martín, commercial director of the Port Authority of Las Palmas, points out that the ports of the islands do not obtain any benefit from this crisis. Go to download The six-day temporary closure of the Suez Canal will mean delays of up to two months in port operations on the routes involved, including the Canary Islands, according to the commercial director of the Las Palmas Port Authority, Juan Francisco Martín. Martín recalls that a large part of the activity of the port of Las Palmas is international and takes place within the framework of economic globalization in which “all crises translate into price increases that we all end up paying.” For this reason, he says, “the first people interested in ensuring that they do not occur are us.” He points out that, contrary to popular belief, the Canarian ports do not benefit from the change in routes. Delays with goods Likewise, it points out that many of the ships detained by the closure were heading to the Canary Islands ports, because they are part of the routes of the north-south lines. Therefore, it is expected that port operations could be affected within a period of between one and two months due to the domino effect. He points out that Canarian merchants who are waiting for goods from Asia will suffer a delay of at least fifteen days.
