My understanding is that _several_ hours per day can mean a very significant chance of skin cancer down the road especially for lighter skinned people in subtropical or tropical regions.

Fair point. I'm an extremely light skinned person. That's the main reason I don't live outside of the climate zone in which my direct ancestors lived.

weaingr suncream is pretty much a given that should be pushed way more. and I am not talking about tropical countries only

Active ingredients in most sunscreens are carcinogenic upon exposure to sunlight. Careful about studies which say the sun causes cancer in light-skinned people without accounting for their increased use of (non-mineral-based) sunscreen. Consider which industry profits from and funds such studies.
