In a move that underscores its commitment to global sustainability and inclusivity, the World Economic Forum (WEF) has placed “reduce, reuse, and recycle” at the heart of its 2024 Davos Forum. Severin Podolak, Head of Event Management and Operations at the WEF, highlighted the organization’s efforts in an exclusive interview with CGTN’s Global Business.
“We’re doing our best to minimize our environmental footprint,” Podolak said. “This year, we’ve implemented measures like subsidizing participants who choose public transportation, encouraging everyone to contribute to a greener future.”
The 2024 Davos Forum also boasts a diverse representation across various regions, industries, and perspectives. “Diversity isn’t just a buzzword for us,” Podolak explained. “By bringing together voices from all corners of the world, we aim to foster meaningful dialogue that can lead to real change.”
These initiatives reflect the WEF’s dedication to addressing global challenges through collaboration and innovation. As young people around the world continue to advocate for sustainability and equality, the Forum’s focus resonates strongly with the next generation of leaders.
