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 for the upcoming 2024 Davos Forum. Podolak revealed that this year's event is striving to \"reduce, reuse, and recycle\" by implementing measures such as subsidizing participants who choose public transportation.
\"We are doing our best to minimize our environmental footprint,\" Podolak said. \"By encouraging the use of public transport and other sustainable practices, we're making significant strides towards a greener event.\"
Podolak also highlighted the WEF's efforts to ensure diverse representation at the forum. \"The 2024 Davos Forum will bring together voices from a wide range of regions, industries, and perspectives,\" he noted. \"We believe that diversity is key to fostering meaningful dialogue and driving global progress.\"
The World Economic Forum's focus on sustainability and inclusivity reflects a broader commitment to addressing global challenges through collaborative efforts and innovative solutions.
