At the 2024 World Economic Forum in Davos, sustainability and diversity took center stage, according to Severin Podolak, Head of Event Management and Operations at WEF. In an interview with CGTN's Global Business, Podolak emphasized the organization's commitment to \"reduce, reuse, and recycle,\" highlighting steps taken to minimize the event's environmental footprint.
\"We've implemented measures such as subsidizing participants who travel by public transportation,\" Podolak said. \"Our goal is to make sustainability not just a theme, but a practice embedded in every aspect of the forum.\"
Beyond environmental efforts, Podolak underscored the importance of diverse representation at this year's event. \"We've brought together voices from different regions, industries, and perspectives,\" he noted. \"This diversity enriches the dialogue and helps us address global challenges more effectively.\"
The 2024 Davos Forum aims to foster collaboration among leaders worldwide, focusing on sustainable development and inclusive growth. By prioritizing environmental responsibility and embracing a wide range of viewpoints, the WEF seeks to set a standard for global conferences moving forward.
