This is an excerpt from my June 20 keynote in #lanzarote (thanks to La Voz de Lanzarote for inviting me) on The Good Future of Lanzarote, and what we have come to call the #futuretax fka #ecotax. In this video clipped from my talk (see the whole thing here:
) I outline a comprehensive agenda for addressing the climate emergency, promoting sustainability and digital transformation in Lanzarote. I emphasize a shift from traditional economic growth models to prioritizing environmental protection, renewable energy, sustainable housing, and education, i.e. from 1P to the 4Ps #peopleplanetpurposeprosperity
My proposal includes implementing a 'future tax' to fund these initiatives (€100 Million / Year). I advocate for making the island carbon-neutral within five to ten years and suggest various practical steps, such as using solar and wind energy, electric vehicles, and reducing waste. I call for collaboration across all sectors and stress the importance of changing the tourism model to make visitors pay the true cost of their stay and contribute to the island's sustainability. I'd love your feedback!!! Have a look at https://www.lanzarotefuturo.com/en
