In a recent interview with CGTN's Global Business, Severin Podolak, Head of Event Management and Operations at the World Economic Forum (WEF), emphasized the organization's dedication to sustainability and diversity for the upcoming 2024 Davos Forum.
Podolak stated that this year's event tried its best to \"reduce, reuse and recycle,\" implementing measures such as subsidizing participants who traveled by public transportation. \"We are committed to minimizing our environmental footprint,\" he said, highlighting the WEF's efforts to promote eco-friendly practices.
He also noted that the 2024 Davos Forum brought in diverse representation in terms of regions, industries, and opinions. \"Inclusivity is at the heart of our agenda,\" Podolak remarked. \"We strive to create a platform where voices from all corners of the globe can contribute to meaningful discussions.\"
The WEF's focus on sustainability and diversity reflects a broader commitment to addressing global challenges through collaborative efforts. By encouraging environmentally conscious participation and fostering a diverse range of perspectives, the Davos Forum aims to facilitate impactful dialogues and drive positive change on the world stage.
