We have long known that our dependence on fossil fuels, unsustainable land use, and wasteful consumption patterns drive climate change, pollution, and biodiversity loss. Recently, COVID-19 has deepened our awareness of the connection between these impacts and risks to human health.

It is also critical for tourism, which relies on upon and connects us with flourishing ecosystems. Restoring nature – and our relationship with it – will be key to our sector’s recovery from the pandemic, as well as its future prosperity and resilience.

As I decided to visit Oslo for the first time in winter, I didn’t expect much from this journey. You will not find orchestras giving concerts on the top of the opera house in such a period, yet those shows are just amazing.

Indeed, skiers will have plenty of fun skiing down from the hills within and outside of Oslo, but I am actually not that much into skiing. Luckily, I was mistaken.
