In an exclusive interview with CGTN's Global Business, Severin Podolak, Head of Event Management and Operations at the World Economic Forum (WEF), emphasized the organization's commitment to sustainability and diversity at the upcoming 2024 Davos Forum.
\"We have made significant efforts to 'reduce, reuse, and recycle' in all aspects of the event,\" Podolak stated. One of the notable initiatives includes subsidizing participants who choose to travel by public transportation, aiming to minimize the environmental impact associated with the forum.
Beyond environmental concerns, the WEF is also focusing on fostering diversity. \"This year's Davos Forum brings together a diverse representation in terms of regions, industries, and opinions,\" Podolak explained. By including voices from various sectors and communities, the WEF seeks to encourage comprehensive dialogues on global challenges and opportunities.
The emphasis on sustainability and inclusivity reflects the WEF's broader mission to address pressing global issues by uniting leaders from around the world. As the 2024 Davos Forum approaches, participants can expect a platform that not only promotes environmental responsibility but also values diverse perspectives.
